Good Morning Britain viewers were left distracted by an item in Edwina Currie's home on Monday as the former Conservative MP joined the ITV news programmes via a live link from the Peak District. The 75-year-old former politician appeared alongside former MP Anna Soubry as they were quizzed on whether Boris Johnson was already "winding down" from his role as Prime Minister.
The pair were interviewed by GMB hosts Ed Balls and Charlotte Hawkins following reports that the PM, who resigned earlier this month, had been accused by Labour MP Lisa Nandy of having "clocked off" after he was absent from a COBRA meeting on the UK heatwave, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Presenter Charlotte Hawkins asked if the PM had "checked out" and was "winding down" to which Ms Currie, who was a was a Tory MP from 1983 to 1998, replied: "There's an idea that somehow if the Prime Minster's not actually sitting in his seat in the cabinet office nothing is happening - and that is complete rubbish.
