Speaking on the broadcaster's show, “Let’s get the party started, because they have gone,” discussing the Conservative Party.

“14 years of corruption, lies and gaslighting, you’ve got two ex-disgraced Tory chancellors in the studio.

“You’ve got Nadine Dorries, a woman who barely turned up last year as an MP.

“And everybody out there is thinking no more of this – no more of the lies, of the deceit, of the corruption, of the VIP PPE lane scandal, the betting scandal.

“Who could ever have thought that a government would be as utterly, utterly banal and ridiculous as this one.”

Voderman also spoke on X formerly known as Twitter, Vorderman added: “Here’s to a new chapter.”

“Johnny Mercer gone. Jacob Rees Mogg gone. Gillian Keegan gone. Tories we don’t have to endure anymore.”

The TV star has been vocal in her criticism of the Conservative Party, previously announcing she is set to publish a “part diary, part political manifesto” exposing the “incompetence and lies” in the party.
