Broadcaster and campaigner Carol Vorderman has launched a sharp public criticism of Nigel Farage, accusing him of misleading the public and failing to take responsibility on major national issues.

In a series of comments shared online, Vorderman questioned Farage’s political record and commitment to parliamentary scrutiny, referring to his absence from key debates and votes. She also raised concerns about what she described as the wider impact of his political messaging, particularly in relation to public services and the future direction of the country.

Vorderman said she believes the current political climate requires greater honesty from high-profile figures and argued that voters deserve clearer answers on policies affecting everyday life, including healthcare and public spending.

Supporters of Farage quickly pushed back against the remarks, defending his record and accusing Vorderman of using inflammatory language to attract attention. Others, however, praised her for speaking out and said her intervention reflected wider public frustration with political leadership and accountability.

The exchange has fuelled a fresh online and media debate over the role of public figures in political campaigning and whether high-profile criticism helps to strengthen democratic debate or deepen political divisions.
