lbc host carol vorderman is feeling the heat. y caller. >> i am incandescent decent about it. i couldn't believe that a labour government would have ever done anything so iniquitous. >> carol looks uncomfortable, but it gets worse. >> it will be more pensioners that die of hypothermia. this winter or and or malnutrition because there will be people who are having to make choices between heating and eating . between heating and eating. >> poor carol's rendered speechless as the caller finishes her demolition of this new government for which the former countdown queen campaigned. >> why clobber pensioners? i think they will pay for this at the next election, because we will never , ever vote labour will never, ever vote labour again. and we voted labour all our lives . we will never vote laboun >> it's that's that's significant for you and your partner. i just think it's so iniquitous, so unfair. >> and, you know, i really can't believe that a labour government have done this. they turned themselves into the new nasty party or the e

carol vorderman does it all the time when something when she's got something from the newspapers, yousomething that she personally is breaking but she's, she's excited to share the news. it gets you a little. it gets you traction. it gets you a little bit of a, you know, a dopamine hit. it's extremely dangerous because unless you are a verifiable, you know, unless you're a news agency who's got sources that you've learned to trust, as we've seen, you can make a life for yourself. >> in this case, they're saying there was insufficient evidence. and at first i was a bit confused because you think, well, they know that. she tweeted. presumably somebody who doesn't like has got a screenshot , but it says the screenshot, but it says the website. logically, that's the name of the website, right? which uses open source investigators and data science to report on misinformation , to report on misinformation, published a report claiming that she was the source of the name . she was the source of the name. but it's then. so what's going on here? it's then found out that it's fake news. i don't

carol vorderman was on the news being all angry about it. i know they always say the time to do something unpopular is straight after an election, but how unpopular do you need to go here? stop testing the theory. so yeah, dozens of labour mps refuse to back. i take some of their argument that some of them made about the idea that if you vote against, you could lose the whip, and later on, you might want to be part of a vote for an issue that's close to your heart. rosie duffield was making that point, but it is. it's bad optics, at the very least. like, as soon as some people die in the winter every year because it's cold, as soon as someone doesit it's cold, as soon as someone does it this year, front page killer starmer, you know, they've taken the ownership of they've taken the ownership of the deaths that will happen. why would you make this the thing that you own? >> it is it. do you think, beginning to look as if all these chickens were about to come home to roost? and this is why rishi sunak called a surprisingly early election? beca

frankly, people like carol vorderman , who actually, carol vorderman, who actually, funnily enough, shareshe says in two years time she would have been eligible for this. she didn't need that £300 handout from the government. you know, they have to cut corners where they have to cut corners where they can. we're in a terrible financial situation. what about compromising it and making it taxable, for example, rather than means testing it if it's so expensive, the previous government and this government seem to be just, just implementing policies without thinking them through. >> i think there's a significant case, a really strong case for pension reform, however, to just simply go off and deal with the winter fuel allowance, you know, as it is, is simply i mean, it's one small one element that's going to have a major impact on some people. and frankly, it's a lack of acumen, strategic acumen, planning and thinking amongst politicians and obviously the civil servants who are advising them. >> i'm just going to bring ben copein >> i'm just going to bring ben cope in ben, labour's own research

millionaire socialist carol vorderman is raging about this new labour government and their treatmenttlessly to get sir keir starmer into number 10. i'll be dealing with the former countdown star in no uncertain terms in just a moment. in the big story, in a mark dolan tonight exclusive, it's been revealed that foreign born immigrants are disproportionately behind a surge in arrests in the uk. it's a story that you won't hear reported anywhere else, and we'll get more on these shocking statistics in just a few minutes . statistics in just a few minutes. will we ever see a band like the beatles again? i'll be asking my guest, the best selling author of a stunning new biography of the fab four,

this is carol vorderman.rvatives out yesterday, astonishingly, asking for sir keir starmer to apologise for acting the winter fuel allowance. dame says this, even for lefties like carol vorderman, are calling for sir keir starmer to reverse the axing of the pensioners fuel allowance. you reap what you . so allowance. you reap what you. so now the tory leadership race heats up as mel stride is eliminated. but who has the best chance to lead the conservative party? can anybody save the party? or, after their dismal turn at the general election, is the party over? they're to down the party over? they're to down the final four. we'll be joined by a tory grandee to give his opinion on whether or not the tories ship can be saved. i'm martin daubney on gb news. britain's news channel. now it's time for your. britain's news channel. now it's time for your . weather. time for your. weather. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . solar sponsors of weather on. gb. news >> evening. time for your w

so, carol vorderman, what a transformation.door on countdown, hasn't she, to becoming a political vamp. she clearly at one point in her life embraced the brace. the phrase well—behaved women don't make history and decided she was going to change her image. so but she's obviously been getting it out for the conservatives and reform for a very long time now. she credits herself in this article, quite staggeringly, as having helped bring down the government. i think that's i think that's a little bit off to be fine. but she's it's basically a piece of her book. she's, she's written a book called now what in which she's got a ten point plan for government, which includes includes renationalisation, genuine levelling up for the north, reform of the house of lords and a ban on old etonians in the cabinet. so why does she just very labour? well, maybe she should exactly. i suppose she's got 18 million in the bank, to according this article. so i don't think i don't know. we'll see if she's one of those ones leaving the country that we

but you have to make a point and say, right, the carol vorderman interview is a perfect one where that woman called in and said , actually, me and my and said, actually, me and my other half are both disabled living in this house and we're going to lose our winter fuel payments and we can't even get out of bed right? but hang on realistic, there are poor people who are going to suffer and there will be people who will die. >> but i think she would. >> but i think she would. >> and there will be people who die this winter. there will be people who die this winter, and they will be on keir starmer and rachel thieves. >> the whole point is, well, these wealthy pensioners that you're talking about, let's let's talk about the ones at the very top. they're the ones that have paid the most tax into the system. >> yeah, but i'm sorry , but >> yeah, but i'm sorry, but labour always come in and they punish those who've worked hard and do the right thing. yeah, i'm sorry, but politics has to be about priorities. we have a finite amount of tax to pay. we have a fight. we have a fight. we have a fi
