Edwina Currie was a Tory MP from 1983 to 1997.
She became Junior Health Minister for 2 years and famously had an affair with John Major, who became Prime Minister. The relationship lasted 4 years.
David Freeman met her when her novel This Honourable House was first published. Prior to this, and her second marriage she had written Chasing Men.
Interviewing Edwina I always had the feeling that she was very entertaining but was probably trouble.
In this conversation, she talks about her life and her books, but also revealingly about the Tory party that she used to be a part of. Times change??
