Carol’s on mission with book

Out of Order ‘exposes incompeten­ce and lies’ of Conservati­ve Government

- BY SUE WILKINSON

Former Countdown star Carol Vorderman is set to publish a political diary exploring how she “exposed the incompeten­ce and lies” of the Conservati­ve Government.

Out Of Order: What’s Gone Wrong With Britain And One Woman’s Mission To Fix It will be published on September 12 and will be supported by her Carol Vorderman Live! Out Of Order tour across 11 dates in the UK.

Vorderman, 63, said: “I’ve been fighting this appalling Tory government with evidence and data, looking into the morally corrupt and questionab­le contracts they’ve signed with donors and associates.

“It’s endless, and exhausting and heartbreak­ing. I’ve never known this country in such a state, with so little help and hope offered to those who need it.

“But the tide has turned and I’m proud to have been a part of it.

“It’s a rollicking read including the fights, being bullied, Tory resignatio­ns, and what goes on behind the scenes, but I hope it will show you how your voice can be heard.”

The announceme­nt comes after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak indicated the next general election will be in the second half of this year.

Publisher Headline said the book showed “how we can all find our voice and stand up for what we believe in” with an election looming.

The book announceme­nt comes months after Vorderman left her BBC radio show after the broadcaste­r introduced new social media guidelines.

Deputy publishing director Yvonne Jacob said: “Since the moment I joined Headline, Carol Vorderman has been at the top of my target list.

“Carol’s tireless campaignin­g is led by a genuine desire to see positive change and help to restore a society and state that is there to serve the many, not just the few."
