That Cook v Currie Cat-Fight
Woman's Hour was brilliant yesterday, Edwina Currie and Margaret Cook on political affairs. Edwina revealed that besides John Major, she was at it with a kinky slob. Edwina gave some old fashioned advice to Mrs Cook. Mrs Cook did not take it well. Listen here (mp3)

I dont think Mrs Cook appreciated Edwina saying that she didnt have experience of the effects Westminster Village had on people and their sexual appetites. She certainly contested the arguement and got quite hot under the collar.
It certainly did seem that the W.I. was about to go into a state of Civil war there for a bit...
the line about Edwina being the biggest baboon in her marriage was class.
1-0 to Margaret Cook
Fabulous stuff! Whoever booked the two of them for that show really knows how to put together a media event. Yeah, you always want one mistress and one wounded wife, and if they've slagged each other before, so much the better.
Yeah, Cook won that smackdown.
Edwina's claimed that the woman needs to follow the man to stop him straying.
Turn it around the other way - her ex-husband was a partner at Arthur Andersens, based a whole 2 stops on the district line from Westminster. So what's her excuse?
I really don't know why anyone would ask Edwina Currie for advice on maintaining marital fidelity. Except maybe for yuks.
As Parliamentary spouse of a former woman MP, and previously as civil servant advisor to a woman Minister, I half-agree with Currie that the Westminster village can affect sexual appetites, but I suggest it does so negatively. An woman MP or a woman Minister coming back at 1 am to her Kennington flat after a full day in the Chamber and / or Private Office plus several hours' constituency casework afterwards is unlikely to think at bedtime of anything other than (a) Horlicks or (b) a large glass of Aussie Red. Obviously Currie Was Different - maybe she should have stuck to Jacob's Creek, rather than John's Pants !
As far as you know...
