Carol Vorderman said she is “absolutely disgusted” by the words and actions of two Government ministers as the TV presenter appeared before MPs to discuss menopause and the workplace.
The former Countdown star said Women’s Minister Maria Caulfield could not “be bothered to turn up” having refused to appear before the Women and Equalities Committee.
Vorderman added that she had been left “horrified” by comments made by Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch who did make an appearance before the committee at the beginning of the month.
At that hearing, the minister dismissed suggestions that the menopause should be given a special legally protected status.
Ms Badenoch argued women could already make use of anti-discrimination measures based on age, sex and disability and said the menopause was on a long list of characteristics that campaigners had claimed should be written into the Equality Act, including “having ginger hair” or “being short”.
A furious Vorderman hit out, saying: "Women make up almost half of the workforce and yet these are the two women in Government who are meant to be representing the female population. I was disgusted to be perfectly honest, by both of them, absolutely disgusted"

I preferred her when she was on Countdown.

Carol Voderman is misrepresenting what Kemi Badenoch said and falsely accuses Maria Caulfield for refusing to show up (although given Carol's attitude I wouldn't blame her). Carol says she's "horrified" and can't understand why Kemi rejected proposals to give menopausal women paid leave. Carol finds this "insulting", but there are good reasons to reject this proposal. I don't believe anyone with any sense would want Carol to run for political office. The fact she highlights she is from a working class background, as if that holds some significance, says it all. She's clearly politically biased and I would guess this is all about keeping herself relevant and in the public eye. Normally she's reduced to showing off her cosmetically altered body in revealing clothing. Carol needs to be better informed, understand the issues, show more humility, and have the ability to debate in a fair and reasoned way, before putting herself forward to be a spokesperson for menopausal women.

Carol makes a lot of valid points here and unfortunately some who don’t like her speaking truth to power and in the gutter press like the Daily Mail people try to ridicule Carol or shut her up by making fun of her appearance or love life. She’s not bothered by that and soldiers on, if she’s had work done, so what, she’s worked for the money to do so, her choice. Menopause is real, the symptoms are life changing and the comments made by women who are meant to be representing the female population in this country, regardless of their political colour were quite frankly insulting and disgusting. Trying to turn the issue of menopause which affects ALL women into a political issue, comparing it to people who have ginger hair….despicable 😡
