Former Countdown star Carol Vorderman has launched a fresh offensive against Conservative peer Michelle Mone, intensifying their public war of words over the controversial PPE Medpro contract that saw the company secure over £200 million in government deals during the pandemic.
The mathematics whizz turned broadcaster has been using her substantial social media platform to demand answers about the procurement process that awarded massive contracts to the company linked to Baroness Mone.
The Social Media Battlefield
Vorderman's campaign has played out across multiple platforms, with the presenter sharing detailed threads and posts questioning the transparency of the deal. Her persistent questioning has turned what might have been a private disagreement into a very public spectacle.
"The public deserves to know how these decisions were made," Vorderman stated in one of her recent posts. "When billions were being spent during a national emergency, every penny should be accounted for."
Mounting Pressure and Investigations
The National Crime Agency has been conducting an investigation into PPE Medpro's dealings, examining whether the company may have benefited from privileged information or connections. Both Mone and her husband have been questioned as part of this ongoing probe.
Vorderman's relentless campaigning has kept the issue in the public eye, with her followers increasingly joining calls for greater transparency around pandemic-era spending decisions.
A History of Conflict
This isn't the first time Vorderman has locked horns with political figures. The presenter has become increasingly vocal about government accountability in recent years, though her clash with Mone represents one of her most sustained campaigns.
Meanwhile, Baroness Mone has consistently denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that she acted appropriately throughout the procurement process.
As investigations continue and public scrutiny intensifies, this bitter feud shows no signs of abating, raising broader questions about transparency in government contracting during times of crisis.
