Carol Vorderman demands 'general election NOW' as Boris Johnson lies exposed

Carol Vorderman has vented her frustration over the Partygate political scandal and demanded a “ general election now” after Boris Johnson ’s lies were exposed.

In a blistering report released on Thursday, it was revealed the Privileges Committee found the former Prime Minister had deliberately misled Parliament five times over the number of parties he held in Downing Street during lockdown.

Former Countdown star Carol is an outspoken critic of Boris and the Conservative government, and took to Twitter to express her outrage over the report.

Sharing a breaking news story regarding the findings in the 30,000-word report, the 62-year-old wrote: “I’ve had enough, have you? GENERAL ELECTION NOW.”

And her followers shared her angry sentiments.

“Me too Carol, I feel like screaming!!!” one replied, as another added: “Yes, we demand a General Election now. Boris Johnson is a LIAR.”

“He should be in jail,” one furious fan commented, and one wrote: “They are an utter embarrassment. Shameful.”

In the report, the former Prime Minister was said to have misled the Commons on five different accounts, and the Privileges Committee recommended that if he was still a sitting MP, he should be suspended for 90 days.

Boris resigned earlier this month, as he released a bloated statement slamming the committee and denying any wrongdoing.

As news broke of his resignation, Carol took to Twitter to slam the disgraced politician, and called him “disgusting”.

“BREAKING Johnson steps down as MP after Privileges Committee declared they were kicking him out anyway,” she fired.

“Obviously it also came with a whole pile of lying cr*p from this disgusting piece of gaslighting…..you can complete the rest…thoughts?”

Carol continued: “So first he makes Lords of blokes who organised parties for 200 people In Downing St during lockdown… Then mocks….always mocks…oh and lies.”

Carol is a regular critic of Boris and the current Conservative government, and took aim once again at the beleaguered former MP during an appearance on BBC panel show Have I Got News For You last month.

“Boris Johnson is like a dose of diarrhoea that keeps on giving, is he not?” Carol quipped.
