Storyline

Following the PM's resignation there is a cabinet reshuffle and Hugh is to be replaced as secretary of state for Social Affairs and Citizenship. Unfortunately only one person is interested in taking on the post,obscure junior minister Nicola Murray. True she is very keen but she also has a fear of lifts,a husband whose firm gets government contracts and a daughter about to start at a private school. Tucker is appalled but the only other likely candidate is his left bollock with a smiley face on it so he has to steer Nicola very carefully through her by-election poster launch with the press,advising her to make a few sacrifices for the good of the department.
