A sarcastic dig

History of tension

Lorraine and Esther have had a strained relationship for years. Esther previously suggested that Lorraine was unhappy when she was promoted above her during their time working together on GMTV in the 90s. Lorraine, however, dismissed these claims and stated that she has had her own show since 1992, long before Esther joined. This disagreement has been an ongoing topic between the two personalities.

Reigniting the feud

Lorraine's recent comments have once again stirred the pot and reignited the subject of their rivalry. Despite their history, both Lorraine and Esther have found success in their respective careers.

Esther McVey's new role

The recent government reshuffle saw Esther McVey being appointed as the Conservative Government's minister for Common Sense. This appointment has been seen by some as an effort to tackle what is perceived as excessive political correctness and "wokeness." McVey's role will involve leading the government's anti-woke agenda and attending cabinet meetings.
