Yeah. I thought that would give you adequate scope. Scope?

What like, um, shooting up in the Cabinet office or something? What?

Stuffing a cat up my arse and having a wank? What do you mean? You know, this could be a great deal worse.

You have had a good innings. You have been here for 18 months

and, you know, I have written some very nice things about you in the PM's reply to your resignation.

Some very nice fucking things indeed! I had a lump in my throat, and you know why?

Because no-one who matters thinks any the less of you over this... SO FAR, OK?

Right, one more thing. The Daily Mail.

David Topham has got it into his head that we are going to sack you because of Press pressure.

I wonder why(!) Look, you're in no position to dish out fucking sarcasm, that's over.

You no longer have purchase in the sarcasm world! Get on the phone, tell them that you're jumping

before you are pushed. We were going to push you because of your deeply-held fucking personal issues!

You want me to write my own obituary?

Get on the fucking phone!

Do it now!

Morning!

Good morning. Have you seen the Times? No. Jo Cherman. She's been a bit of a bitch, actually.

Well, she always is. Yeah.

Everything in this package is small! We'll go down, the local yokels will take photographs

and that's fine. They'll snap away for 20... 20 minutes is enough.

He's here now, so don't worry. Morning, Hugh!

Good morning. Come on!

Terri, shush! I've got something very important to say. I've got...

Olly, I've got something for us. I got us a very tasty little morsel,

because I had a chat with my very good friend the Prime Minister of Great Britain... Oh, really? Oh?

Yes, and remember the, um...

Olly, your benefit unit fraud...

Anti-Benefit Fraud Executive - ABFE.

ABFE? Um, Scrounger Squad...

Snooper Squad. Snooper Squad! The one with spending implications? Yes.

The Prime Minister's view is, "Fuck the spending implications, I like it."

Good. So this is us, we're on the map.

It's a chance for me, Glenn, to get on Richard And Judy and plant that flag right on their fucking sofa.

So the Prime Minister's authorised you to announce it?

Well, that's very much what he signalled, yes, very clearly.

He said he's right behind us and it's what we should be doing.
