JAN MOIR: Let's hope St Carol of Vorderman isn't the last preaching Leftie to be sacked by the BBC

The professional provocateur, reality show star, serial detox dieter, maths expert, Michelle Mone tormentor, former television presenter, virulent Tory-hater, Jessica Rabbit-alike and pioneer of the bodycon capsule wardrobe has been dumped from her Saturday morning show on BBC Radio Wales for breaching new social media guidelines.

'You do you Carol! Much respect for sticking up for who you are and not allowing corporations to silence you!' was the message from the former Olympian.Those dastardly corporations! Dame Kelly sees no hypocrisy in denigrating the very same organisation that once made her BBC Sports Personality of the Year. 'This is the biggest sporting honour your country can give you,' she sobbed gratefully at the time.

Darling, Ant! All those muscles but so little coordination between coherence and thought and speech in the Ant-brain. Look around the cultural landscape and you will see that plenty of people in this country have lost their jobs because of their postings on social media — and rightly so. Of course, Carol Vorderman is not guilty of any misconduct, except perhaps a contractual one. She was working for the BBC, which brings a complex set of responsibilities.

Of course, his tweets echo the same political line as Carol Vorderman's — and nearly every BBC star you can name. Which seems to be that the Tories are nothing short of an evil malignancy oppressing Palestinian protesters, the homeless, women, immigrants, bus drivers, boat people, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

I even have my doubts about Jeremy Bowen wondering onscreen this week if the force of Israel's attack on Gaza was 'justifiable'. It might be a fair enough question, but is it one that the BBC's Middle East Editor should be making in the middle of a news bulletin? Anyway, who needs Carol Vorderman to demonise the Conservative party? They are doing a marvellous job of it all by themselves, paving their own route to electoral destruction.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak and his pedicabs! Is this a joke? While he is fussing about pedal power, more than 50 per cent of the people in this country don't want the pro-Palestinian march to take place over this Remembrance weekend. The thought of Fergie as an ITV daytime queen, pontificating on the sofa about politics and hemlines while pretending to enjoy Gino D'Acampo's grisly pasta bakes was almost too delicious to contemplate.
