History

Historical Context

The Profumo Affair began in 1961 when Secretary of State for War John Profumo engaged in a sexual relationship with model Christine Keeler, who was also linked to a Soviet spy. The scandal erupted publicly in 1963, leading to Profumo's resignation and a 10% drop in approval ratings for the Conservative government. This event significantly damaged public trust and foreshadowed the party's defeat in the 1964 election.
