Martin Lewis gets off to explosive GMB start as he grills Currie on Hancock’s antics

"Does morality not matter, does ethics, does following your own rules, does the rule of law not matter?"

Martin Lewis got off to an explosive start as he teamed up with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today.

Filling the slot left vacant by Piers Morgan, the Money Saving Expert founder came to blows with former MP Edwina Currie over the resignation of Matt Hancock.

“Is there any coming back from this?”

Earlier in the show Lewis argued that not only had Hancock damaged the reputation of the Tory Party, but UK politics as a whole. 

It comes as the MP for Newmarket was forced to resign after pictures were leaked of him and kissing his aide Gina Colangelo despite the coronavirus measures in place.

He said that this scandal could prove to be the “final nail in the coffin for British politics,” adding:

“The reputation of politics in this country is fundamentally damaged.

“This just seems to be the final nail in the coffin.

“It is time we did something about it because if we don’t trust our politicians to do the right thing then our whole political democracy breaks down.

“Is there any coming back from this?”

“Does the rule of law not matter?“

Currie came out to bat for the former health secretary during a panel debate, saying he hadn’t lost trust in the government and that we should focus on the good job they have done during the pandemic.

But Lewis was having none of it.

Asking whether the rule of law matters anymore, he opined: “Can we not expect politicians to have both integrity and deliver results?”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
