The Political Party

Show 264 - *Edwina Currie - LIVE*

Raucous, outrageous but also philosophical and thoughtful, this is an evening in the company of a true political fighter. Edwina Currie refuses to be pigeonholed. She simultaneously embodies the values of ambition and aspiration but is also a formidable campaigner against prejudice. This is a fascinating ride through social history, the changing role of women in politics and what it means to be a Conservative. Edwina shares her experience of being a Conservative Minister under Margaret Thatcher and yes, reflects on the leadership and character of John Major. Strap in.  Follow Edwina on Twitter: @Edwina_Currie Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre including the next show with NEIL KINNOCK on Monday 7 March here: <a href="https://www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a> Buy tickets to Matt's brand new stand-up show Clowns To The Left Of Me, Jokers to the Right, touring across the UK including at The Southbank Centre on Saturday 19 February: <a href="https://www.mattforde.com/2022tour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mattforde.com/2022tour</a> Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a> Follow Matt on Twitter: @mattforde Hosted on Acast.
