Watch: Edwina Currie leaves people fuming after wading into partygate affair

"Having watched the Savile documentary if I was Edwina Currie I would literally never give my opinion again."

Yesterday Boris Johnson’s ally Michael Fabricant defended the PM by saying there were no pole dancers and claiming NHS staff drank at work too.

Now, this morning Edwina Currie has waded in on the debate, saying “I don’t care, I really don’t care” that Johnson broke the law and lied, as the Conservatives will win elections anyway.

Currie, who famously had an affair with future John Major told ITV’s Good Morning Britain:

“What matters for me and what matters for millions of people in this country is the results we get from our politicians. The results we get from Boris are pretty good.”

Currie went on: “Last week we had a by-election here in the High Peak and we took a seat from Labour which means we’ve taken control of the borough from Labour.

“Everybody had an opportunity to express their viewpoint. And what happened was we won the seat, we actually won it, that’s what’s happening.”

GMB host Richard Madeley said it was extraordinary she didn’t care whether “a serving prime minister knowingly misled Parliament – what does that say about where we are today and our political climate?”

"what matters to me is the results we get from our politicians"

The law doesn't matter, the morality doesn't matter, as long as our results look good.

The Tory party is completely and utterly morally bankrupt. https://t.co/qBcIOItDHO

Boris Johnson is the first sitting Prime Minister to have broken the law. He must go.

So Currie is ok with getting something even if lying, cheating & law breaking like theft are involved?

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.
