Carol Vorderman slammed over comment about Nigel Farage’s ‘nine jobs’

London: So, Carol Vorderman recently stirred the pot with a meme aimed at Nigel Farage, the head of Reform UK. She shared it on X, formerly Twitter, and it asked a pretty bold question about right-wing solutions to issues like poverty and employment.

She added her own twist, taking a jab at Farage by saying, “So true…. How’s NINE JOBS NIGEL doing?” But, wow, the backlash was intense! Many folks on social media didn’t hold back in criticizing her take.

One user told her to “grow up,” pointing out that Farage’s policy of raising the income tax threshold actually helps low earners. They called it a genuinely progressive move, which was a bit of a surprise to Vorderman’s followers.

Another commenter defended Farage’s work ethic, saying it’s not a bad thing for someone to work hard. They felt her post highlighted a bigger issue in society where hard work is often frowned upon.

Someone else questioned if she thought it was wrong for people to work hard, suggesting that claiming benefits might be a better option in her eyes. It was a real back-and-forth!

Another user challenged her credibility, reminding her that she once supported a party with similar views. They asked what Labour’s solution was to the problems she mentioned.

One pointed out the irony of her comments, given her reported net worth of £18 million. They felt it was typical of wealthy individuals to blame other rich people for societal issues.

As for Farage, he’s been nicknamed ‘Nine Jobs Nigel’ because of his various income streams since becoming an MP. In just six months, he reportedly earned over £571,000 from different gigs.

He’s also a presenter on GB News, where he shares his views on current events, earning a hefty salary for that. Plus, he’s available for public speaking and even offers personalized video messages on Cameo.

His video greetings cost at least £77, and he’s made a nice chunk of change writing for The Guardian too. Quite the busy guy!
