“One of those leaflets contained a personal letter written by Carol Vorderman.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
Contemporaneous reporting supports the core claim: Hope Not Hate/Forward Democracy distributed a personal letter from Carol Vorderman to women in Makerfield, and multiple articles describe recipients receiving one of Vorderman’s letters through their letterboxes. One local report says she “has written personally to Makerfield women voters,” and another says a woman was surprised to receive “one of Carol Vorderman’s letters to women voters.” The only caveat is that some sources describe it as a letter rather than a leaflet, but the fact that a personal letter from Vorderman was part of the campaign material is supported.

I have written to the Electoral Commission demanding an investigation into potential breaches of electoral law by Hope Not Hate.
Public trust in our elections depends on the rules being followed by everyone.
