You're saying you do know about it?

She's looking a bit upset, yeah. Right, but you're not gonna use it? Thanks for telling us, yeah, sure.

You know about it, do you?

I'm going home. I'm gonna see my daughter, I'm gonna give her a big kiss and the bollocking of her life!

Nicola, just got a text from Malcolm. He says he knows Mannion was here.

Text reads, "I know about your fucking meeting with that aging flamenco guitarist.

"You are not... letters... to go home, there's been an escalation".

Shit. He wants you at Number 10, ASAFP. Come on, let's go!

"F" meaning...

Feasibly, I should imagine!

Stuart, you're still here!

To what do I owe this pain?

It's called politics, Peter. We're trying to do it from your office.

I've told Nicola Murray I'm not capitalising on that story.

I'm speechless! Do you want to get booted out of the Shadow Cabinet?

You're wanting to spend more time hiding from your wife in the greenhouse? Yes, if it came to it!

If you have to wade through all this shit to win the election then I'm happy to lose it, all right?

Malcolm.

Hi Nicola, thanks very much for coming over. Can I get you something?

Actually, you haven't got any whisky, have you? Whisky, yeah.

Hasn't been touched for a while.

Still got Anthony Eden's lipstick on the bottle!

Hey, do you remember when you started?

I said I didn't have much of a folder on you.

You should see it now! It's like a fucking butcher's slab and just as graphic!

Right, so, can we...

You said there'd been an escalation?

The good news is that even though everybody's got this brilliant story, no-one can use it. Good.

But? I'm sensing there is a "but", probably be the size of a fucking house.

The bad news is that they will run with

"head teacher bends the rules and gives preferential treatment to Cabinet minister."

It's unacceptable.

The Board of Governors have no choice. He'll have to resign.

No, no, no, no!

Yeah, I'm afraid it's "fuck off, Mr Chips!".

No! It should be me who resigns.
