This satirical drama follows the daily working of the new Conservative Prime Ministers office. The PM learns how to elect bishops, tastes many pastries and leaks a defence report detailing downsizing the Armed forces. Hoping to show his ministers the alternatives to budget cuts this ruse blows up in his face as the ministers leap on the idea, discussing how splendid an idea this is. Meanwhile a British citizen, married to one of the most wanted terrorist in the world, comes to the UK for a Kidney transplant. Surprisingly the PM is swayed by a young researcher and starts to discuss some anti war, left wing views. This is a very uplifting piece of drama.
