Carol Vorderman brutally cut off by GMB's Susanna Reid after awkward Kwarteng remark
ITV star Carol Vorderman was heard saying that her latest quest in politics is to “close the disconnect”. The 63-year-old appeared on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday where she scrutinized the Labour Party but was suddenly cut off and unable to finish her sentence by hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.
The Countdown star initially discussed her brand-new book Now What, which goes on sale later this week - as she continues to “Fix Broken Britain.” She went on a huge rant about how the Labour Party was not helping people and was left “shocked” by their latest moves.
Carol was heard saying: “I am quite shocked actually that a Labour Government has suggested this, and I think it could be their poll tax statement very early on. So part of why I am writing the book is about tax reform. I give evidence it is very readable.”
She continued to say that it is her “take on the manifesto” and then shared a whopping statement. Carol said: “Private equity managers in the tax year 2020/2021. Round about then. One tax year they earned, I say lightly £2.7 billion. Do you know how many people earned £2.7 billion?
“Do you want to know? 255 of them. So they were earning over £10 million on average each. But they don’t pay 45% tax like somebody earning over £100,000. They don’t pay that as they have a special arrangement made. They pay HMRC 28% tax.”

Discussing the former Chancellor, Ed Balls said: "You weren't very impressed by us having Kwasi Kwarteng on Good Morning Britain."
Carol replied: "No... When I switched on and saw Kwasi Kwarteng.. Old Etonian.. He crashed the economy along with his mate Liz Truss.. I just thought, good grief." She continued that her mission is to “close the disconnect in some way.”
Susanna, 53, appeared fed up and cut Carol off mid-rant. She said: “We need to close the disconnect between out programme and Lorraine.”

Meanwhile, another user took a scathing swipe at the presenter: “I am so disappointed in you. You have thrown your weight behind Labour without fully understanding their vision for the UK. My 81 year old father will spend his winters wondering if he can afford to turn the heating on? You need a rethink on who you're supporting.”
