Is it time?

'Surprise resignation today of
Aiden Hoynes, Secretary of State

'for Business, Innovation and Skills

'and regarded as one of
THE high flyers in the cabinet.'

For weeks, Westminster's
been rife with rumours

about his growing discontent
with current Government policy.

In his letter
to the Prime Minister,

'he implies he is resigning to
"spend more time with the family" -

'but few believe that is really what
lies behind it.'

It's all kicking off now, Minister.

'He's due to make a personal
statement to the House later today.

'Perhaps then we will know the real
reason behind his resignation

'from the Government.

'Aiden Hoynes and his wife Freya
Gardner, junior Education Minister

'and a rising star in her own right,
have two young children.

'Often dubbed
The Golden Couple of Politics,

'their marriage
is known to be solid,

'but the demands
of a political marriage

'are bound to put pressure
on any family.'

Thank you. Thank you all.

Thanks, Lian.

Thanks.

Thank you all. Thank you all.

How's he doing?

There's his speech. Tell him
to check my amendment on para two.

To the end of the beginning.

'Order! Order! Personal statement,
Mr Aiden Hoynes.

'Mr Speaker, too often the issue
of immigration has been used

'as a political football,

'fuelled by inflated statistics
in the tabloids

'to appease the anti-immigration
prejudice in Britain.'

So when the Prime Minister
first mooted his proposal

for an indefinite
moratorium on immigration,

I was deeply concerned

that should he attempt to force
such drastic reform through

before the election next year,

not only will it prevent skilled
workers coming here who we rely on

for our desperately
needed economic recovery,

but it impeaches our humanitarian
reputation in providing asylum

for displaced people
fleeing their own countries

to escape death and persecution.

I did my best to
persuade my Right Honourable Friend

that his unilateral decision would
play into the xenophobic prejudices

of those who seek to turn us
into Fortress Britain.

'But I could not dissuade him.

'Mr Speaker, while I appreciate
the Prime Minister's
poor approval ratings

'are a matter of concern to him...'
Dita! Look. It's Daddy!

'..his readiness
to trample on human rights'

in a craven attempt to attract votes
is of greater concern to me.

Hear, hear!

I therefore came to the
reluctant conclusion that

I could no longer serve in my Right
Honourable Friend's Government.

I know some in the House
will condemn my resignation

as disloyalty, Mr Speaker.

Yes! Yes!

But I do so
because it is the right thing to do.

And because my loyalty lies
not just to my party,

but to my country.

It is for others to decide
where their own loyalty lies.

'Westminster is in leadership
crisis mode

'since Aiden Hoynes' incendiary
resignation speech

'which can only be interpreted
as a bid for leadership.

'He's known to have
significant back bench support

'but he must also get support from
the heavyweights in cabinet

'to make his bid credible.'

'As yet, there's been no word from
the Prime Minister's office.'

Hoynes residence, Dita speaking.

It's done. 'I saw.'

Such a speech you wrote for him!

How are the kids? 'They're good.'
The press will descend any minute.

'Draw the curtains, lock the front
door and don't answer the phone.

Grandfather's on his way.

And keep an eye on Noah.

15 minute interview
at three o'clock.

Clock's running, guys!
Let's beat the grass on this!

"Chancellor due on the World at
One". We know which way he'll jump.

No cabinet ministers have commented
yet - nothing on PoliticsHome.

Statement from Barrow.
First out the gate - good man!

"Courageous stand by Aiden Hoynes."

Dracott's blogging! "Given the
challenges the country faces,

"Aiden Hoynes' leadership bid
is badly misjudged and not supported
by his cabinet colleagues."

Self-serving little shit. I thought
he was solid? He was, last night.

He's been got at.

And we can quote you on that?

Anything from Bruce?
Voice mail. Any tweets from him?

Er, Guardian Blog -
"No comment as of yet
from Home Office or Treasury".

Anything from Guido Fawkes yet? No.

"Education Minister
backs beleaguered Prime Minister".
Who tweeted that?

Sky News. Attorney General and
Northern Ireland Secretary, "full
confidence in the Prime Minister".

It's too early to blink yet.

Bruce will turn it around for us.

Where the hell is he?

Statement from Downing Street -
"In such times of austerity,

"disappointing a cabinet minister
chose to put career ambitions ahead
of party and country".

Tweet from The Times -
"resignation speech more a suicide
bid than a leadership bid".

Bruce is out!

Wheels up, guys!

Finally!

'I'm joined by Bruce Babbish,

'Secretary of State for Work
and Pensions - can I ask you

'where you stand on Aiden Hoynes
and his leadership bid, Minister?

'Let me start by saying this.

'Aiden Hoynes is a close
personal friend.

'I've known him since university.
He was best man at my wedding.

'I'm godfather to his children.

'I know him to be a man
of steadfast principle

'and complete integrity,
which makes his actions today

'all the more baffling.

'He accused the Prime Minister
of cynically using immigration

'to win votes when arguably
he's done the same thing

'trying to peddle support for
his ill-judged leadership bid.

'So this definitely is
a leadership bid?'

My God, what is he doing to us?

'To be honest, I'm still trying to
get my head around why he went ahead
with it.

'I have to tell you I'm not alone
in that view. Thank you.'

It's over.

Not everyone's come out yet.
We still have time to... It's over.

Hello, Tom. Thank you very much.

Nice to see you, Bob.
See you in a couple of days.

It's all right, Duncan.

Will this take long?

I'm due at Number Ten -
the reception for Putin.

That your reward, is it?

How was it again, Bruce?

"Resign," you said. "You'll help
rally the big beasts in cabinet,"
you said.

"I'll be in Number Ten
by the recess," you said.

He who wields the knife never
wears the crown.

Heseltine learnt that lesson.

It wasn't me
who wielded the knife, was it?

Remind me, who was it held your hand

when Wanda walked out
on your marriage? Hmm?

Who was it had your back
when your expenses thing blew up?

Who was it held you together when you
had the prostate scare last year

and covered your arse in cabinet?

Oh, wait - that would be me.

It was never going to fly.

Not once the PM put the thumbscrews
on everyone.

So you just hung me out to dry?

You're eliminating the competition.
That's what this is.

The office you
hired for my campaign HQ,

the mobile phones for the troops.
It was all for you.

All along it was for you.

You take all the oxygen, Aiden.
You always have.

They say the best place for an
assassin to hide is in plain sight.

Or as a best friend.

Argh!

Hurts, doesn't it?

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Are they still there?

Don't worry, they'll be gone soon.

Want to go and play in the garden
for a bit? Air Asia's changed their
flight times!

I'll miss the connection
on the Emirates flight to Lagos.

Does it have to be Lagos?

It has to start with "L"
to be in alphabetical order!

Islamabad, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur
and Lagos.

Wait - Los Angeles!

Cathay Pacific and China Eastern
Airlines both fly there from
Kuala Lumpur.

Hello? Hello? Anybody there?

They're not coming in.
No-one's coming in.

Stay...

I'm not going anywhere.

Can you just, er, pull in over here?
Just for a second. Thank you.

Oh, my God, what is she doing?

Snatching her 15 seconds of fame.

You go in. I'll get shot of them.

No. We need to be on message
together on this.

And risk taking you down with me?

My neck, my risk.

Hope it's worth it.

All right,
let's make this a quick one, eh?

A short statement only, OK?
No questions.

I'm hardly alone in having misgivings
about the Prime Minister's
leadership.

But whoever is spreading
these malicious rumours

that my resignation is a leadership
bid of my own is judging me

by the paucity of
their own moral standards.

Surely one can be a dissident
without being

accused of seeking high office?

Arguably challenging the prevailing
doctrine can be more effective
than joining it.

OK, that's it, guys,
short and sweet. Thanks very much.

Daddy! Daddy!

Hey, how's my Ruby?

You were on TV, Daddy - I saw you!

No, that was just someone who looked
like me. It was you, Daddy.
You had the same tie!

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!

My constituency officers
want a meeting with me ASAP.

Can this day get any better?

Did you not forewarn them
what you were doing?

And risk loyalists leaking it?

You're only a traitor
if you fail, aren't you?

There's a story
I used to tell my LSE students.

A Comintern agent
radioed Vladivostok

to relay a message to Stalin,

requesting to blow up Hitler
in some Munich cafe he frequented.

Three times he radioed, three times
all they got was silence.

He'd made his own Faustian pact,
too.

In his case, his non-aggression pact
with Hitler.

So there was no pact between the PM
and Bruce.

He's after a clear run for himself.

I knew he was
the master of the dark arts.

I arrogantly assumed 20 years
of friendship meant I was exempt.

Naive? Possibly. But arrogant?

It was arrogance made me
listen to him.

How the cabinet is full
of ineffectual pigmies.

I was the only one with the X Factor
to win us the election.

I bought every damn word.

So much for moral paucity.

It physically hurts, Dad.
It actually hurts.

"The villainy you teach me

"I will execute
and better your instruction."

'So, do you buy
Aiden Hoynes's claim

'that his resignation
was the act of a dissident?

'At best he was being disingenuous
and at worst duplicitous.

'When Robin Cook resigned,

'did he impugn Tony Blair's
entire premiership?

'No. He made it very clear
his resignation was over

'the single issue of Iraq.

'So this is in the vein of
Geoffrey Howe

'and of course that led to
Margaret Thatcher's downfall?

'Well, it's no coincidence he used
virtually the... the same phrase,

'"It's for others to decide
where their loyalties lie," is it?

'Hoynes did it to force
a leadership contest

'and put himself in pole position.

'Instead of which - at the risk
of mixing too many metaphors -

'he's put himself
out in the wilderness.'

Oh, God. The day from hell.

You'll get back.

You just have to give it time,
let things play out.

They'll close ranks. That's how it
works. Those that haven't already.

I'm screwed, Freya. Come on.

I'm just trying to look
the damn beast in the eye,

see it for what it is.

A setback is what it is,
that's all.

We've got through worse,
we'll get through this.

Can you take Noah to school
tomorrow?

Just I've the Select Committee
first thing.

Sure.

You'll be able to spend more time
with him, won't you?

That's one bonus.

God! You and your crap films.

"I could have been a contender,
I could have been somebody."

Sod off!

Ah!

Ah! Ah!

Hey, why put yourself through it?
They'll only depress you.

Come, Ruby! We go now.

Here, shopping list.

Noah needs new laces
for his school shoes

and Aiden's suit needs picking up.
Right.

Ruby, you need your note
for the school trip.

Give it to me.

Packed lunch.

Bye, Daddy!

Bye, sweet.

'A Downing Street spokesperson
said the Prime Minister will not be
rushed into the reshuffle

'and that he is considering
all the options.'

So what have you got
at school today?

Just stuff.

What kind of stuff?

Conversation, Noah.

I ask questions, you answer,
remember?

No! No! NO! NO!

Jesus! NO! NO! What is it? What is
it? What did I do? WRONG WAY!

We avoid the traffic this way!
WRONG WAY! WRONG WAY!

All right, all right! All right,
all right! WRONG WAY! WRONG WAY!

All right! We'll go the other way.
All right. Wrong way!
I'm turning round.

Look, look, look, look.
I'm turning round. I'm turning round.

All right, all right, all right.

All right, it's all right.
We're going the other way.

All right?

We're going the right way now, OK?

Have a good day.

And there's another outside
the Co-op.

A whole paving stone missing,
just a gaping hole.

Did you call the council?

Waste of breath, that was.

Press one for this. Two for that.

And there's another missing.

Outside the post office.

When it was a post office.

I'll get onto it.

Go on! More, more, more.

More. More, more!

Some more, more like that?

OK, get the lumps out.

Don't even think about it!

Argh!

Right! You are in so much trouble.

Hoynes residence,
Dita speaking? Who?

I can't believe you
just did that!

Wait, please. Marcus Brock.

Er, it's Aiden he'll want.
Tell him to try his mobile.

It's you he asked for.

Freya Gardner?

Hello there, Freya. Bad moment?

'Er, Marcus, what can I do for you?'

I'm sorry, say again?

There's been a development.

Again, exactly as he said it.
Word for word.

Your resignation means
a minor cabinet reshuffle.

Bruce will move from Work and
Pensions to take over from you
as Business Secretary.

His 30 pieces of silver
for services rendered.

And the PM wants to know
my response should I be offered
Work and Pensions -

with the proviso...
That you publicly support him
over the immigration issue.

In other words -
publicly humiliate you.

I'm to let him know
my decision in the morning.

But it's not just
about humiliating you, is it?

It's about politically
isolating you.

What better way to do that

than to show your own wife
won't support you?

Why else choose me?
Because you are far and away

the best woman at Minister of State
level and everyone knows it.

It's a risky little game.
What if I took the damn job?

Oh, except there is no risk,
is there?

He knows you'll reject,
out of loyalty to me.

By making the offer he looks
statesmanlike and magnanimous -
he's off the hook.

Mummy! Noah pulled my hair
and spitted at me!

I'll call Marcus in the morning
and tell him

to shove his offer up his woolsack.

Mummy!

Where are you? 'Your office.'

Just run with this, OK?

You call Marcus in the morning.

You tell him
you've discussed his offer with me.

I won't stand in the way of such
a fantastic opportunity for you.

So, you will accept the post

and you'll agree to the condition
on the immigration issue.

In accepting the job, the PM

will assume you've put ambition ahead
of your loyalty to me, won't he?

So you work with that,
you use that to win his trust.

And then when the time is right,
choose your venue.

Anywhere with maximum impact -
Policy Forum dinner,

Question Time, Andrew Marr - and
you condemn his immigration stand.

Is that before or after
I've cleared my desk?

No, he can't fire another
cabinet minister. Especially my own
wife, without appearing vindictive.

It would be further proof that
he runs the cabinet like his own
personal fiefdom, crushing dissent,

briefing against anyone
opposing him.

You publicly challenge
a crucial part of his manifesto.

You challenge both his authority
and his credibility.

Coups have been sparked by less.

It's a long shot, at best.

Still a shot.

Well, it'll just open the way
for Bruce and the leadership.

It'll open the way for
a leadership contest between us.

And he'll have the inside track with
all the heavyweights in the cabinet.

And I'll have you on the inside,
tracking him.

You play the same ambition card
with him.

God knows he'll relate to that!
Find out who's in his cabal.

Who's funding him?
Who's on the fence?

Bruce isn't a fool!

He'll know that I'm trotting home
to leak it all back to you.

At university,
before I came along. You and he.

There was no he and me.

Exactly.
You were the one who got away.

It's not about ideology with him.

It's about outwitting the other side.
It's about the thrill of the chase.

All you have to do is flatter him.

His ego will do the rest.

So I'm not just your mole,
but your whore?

Oh, come on.
What other word is there for it?

Agent provocateur.

OK, worst case scenario,
the PM boots you out.

You've put down a marker, Freya.

As someone of principle, someone
worthy of holding high office.

Haven't you earned this chance? Hmm?

I know, it's asking a lot.
Of course I do.

Sometimes you have to do bad things
to get into power

to do good things when you get there.

On the side, please.

Babbish?

You'll regret now you didn't wager
more than a fiver.

She accepted it?
'With alacrity.'

And the condition?

The whole caboodle.

She must have done
a heck of a job on Aiden.

As you did on the PM,
persuading him to go with her.

I'm sure she will be duly grateful.

Aiden! How's it going?

Hey! Still trying to ply your trade
around the estate?

'For all the good it's doing me.'

Freya got Work and Pensions.

'Downing Street will confirm it
by the end of play.

'I told her to bring you and Drew in
as her advisers.'

I want a ring of steel round her,
Lian.

Yeah, you got it.

We are back in the game, my son.

Hello? Tell me, have you been
allocated another minister yet?

'Back in the pool for my sins.'

Word has it your better half
has got Work and Pensions?

You make the Westminster grapevine
look positively arthritic, Kenny.

I told her to put in a request
for you to drive her.

'I need to know
she's in safe hands, Kenny.

'Precious cargo and all that.'
It would be a pleasure, sir.

'..from the surprise appointment to
Works and Pensions of Freya Gardner,

'wife of Aiden Hoynes who recently
resigned in what is believed

'to be a failed leadership bid.

'A Downing Street source said
the Prime Minister has long since
recognised Ms Gardner's

'outstanding potential and does not
regard Aiden Hoynes' recent actions

'as an impediment
to realising that potential.'

Kevin Russell
is your Permanent Secretary.

He's a bit old-school
but he's nobody's fool.

Make sure you have a structured
induction, don't let him

bounce you into decisions
before you're ready.

It's another well-wisher.
Who knew I had so many friends?

Get used to it.

It's too funereal.

The trick is to connect personally
with all the staff.

Especially those who could be toxic.

Exactly. There, that's better.

Golden rule, though - don't ignore
those lower down the food chain.

They'll be your shock absorbers -
the keepers of your secrets.

They're a bit Theresa May,
aren't they?

There. Give us a twirl.

I forgot rule number one.

To stay top dog, you may have to
unleash the bitch within you, Freya.

Don't be afraid of that.

And rule number two?

Reread rule number one.

Wish Mummy luck!

Luck, Mummy! Thank you!

Thank you.

The Os are easy.
There's Oakland, Ottawa, Osmani.

They all have airports.

Didn't Mum make a rule?

How you can only talk about the
airport thing at home, nowhere else?

You know why she made that rule?

It's to free up your brain
to think about other things.

Because if you focus on
just one thing all the time,

your brain gets stuck on it.

That's how it turns into
an obsession.

So shall we talk about
something else?

You choose.

Any subject you want.

Anything you like, it's up to you.

* Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

* Do you, do you, do you, do you

* Know what you're doing,
doing to me

* Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. *

Back to work, everyone.

Aiden, Aiden! That's enough.

That's enough.

That's enough.

Whoo!

Too old for this damn malarkey.

Freya - she's been invited to
a welcome drink at Number 10 tonight.

Well, that's not game over for you,
Aiden.

Most political careers
end in ignominy, don't they?

Sacrificed on the altar of the party
or guillotined at the ballot box.

Why should I be the exception?

Blair never sacked Gordon Brown,

because it was safer having him

on the inside of the tent
pissing out

than on the outside pissing in.

He knew the damage he might wreak
rampaging on the back benches.

He knew the support he
commanded there. As you do, Aiden.

Why don't you think of this as
a chance to reconnect with why
you first went into politics?

You left Oxford and you went
straight into the hothouse of
Westminster, didn't you?

You barely lived in the real world,
barely experienced the...

the reality of people's lives.

Of course I bloody experience it!
I meet them in my damn surgery...

Virtual reality! It's not the same.

I saw the same thing when you were
first told about Noah's Asperger's.

How you... stepped back from him.

That was when you chose to
bury yourself

in the cesspit of Westminster
power politics, wasn't it?

Hey.

I best get back home,
before my damn legs seize up.

Oof!

If I did step back from him,
it was because of you.

Cos I knew I'd never touch his life
as you have mine.

Never say never.

Thrilled to have you on board.

Always said we'd neglected you
for too long.

I'm sure you've been here before

but it never fails to
take one's breath away, does it?

Humbling is the word.

I'll tell him you're here.

What I'd like you to do
is keep your promises.

Ooh, thank you very much.

You promised local people
would have a say -

and nothing! Absolutely nothing!

But oh, no - little man, he doesn't
get his permission, but they do!

It's all about brown envelopes.
That's what's going on down there!

'And now, Today In Parliament.

'Another busy week
for the Government.

'Its two major pieces of legislation
on immigration and penal reform...'

Thank you for coming.

I thought we were meeting
at your office.

Well, it's more relaxed here,
isn't it?

And more public.

Our two departments
have adjacent interests, Freya.

If we're to work together
effectively,

we have to find a way of putting
aside our personal issues.

It's important everyone sees that.

Salade Nicoise.

Certainly.

Calves' liver. Rare.
Extra spinach, hold the fries.

And a bottle of the 2009
Chateauneuf-du-Pape blanc.

Very good, sir.

I had no choice
but to come out against him, Freya.

The week before he resigned,
he stayed over at my London flat.

To discuss strategy, he told me.

Did he also tell you
I warned him against it?

That I'd taken soundings -
the omens weren't good?

He'd find himself
dangerously exposed?

Curious that he never mentioned
any of that.

Or that given your concern, you
didn't call to give me a heads up.

I wish now I bloody had called you.

It... it seemed...

It seemed disloyal.

And publicly shafting him wasn't?

You could have done
a Pontius Pilate, Bruce.
You could've refused to comment.

He and I were too close.

If I hadn't come out against him,
I'd have been accused of collusion.

What was I supposed to do?

Commit political kamikaze
along with him?

I warned him that night,

I told him flat-out
it was a mistake to go on with it.

I tried to dissuade him, Freya.
God knows I did.

I...I couldn't reach him.

It's like he has this...

sense of entitlement.

You don't suppose it's about Noah,
do you?

That his disability somehow means
the world owes Aiden something?

Be very careful, Bruce.

When I put your name forward
to the PM,

even though...

It was you who put my name forward?

Even though I knew it was
a chance in a lifetime for you,

I was afraid he would
try to block it.

Or worse, use you to get back at me
at me somehow.

I should have known
he cares too much for you

to put you in such
an invidious position.

So why did you put my name forward,
Bruce?

To assuage your guilt?

How many times have you stepped
aside for him over the years, Freya?

When that Shadow Transport job
came up, you had a shot at it, too.

But you ruled yourself out for him.
Same later with Environment.

And he let you do it. Every time.

It wasn't for him.
It was for the family.

Well, it's his family too.

As I said to Aiden that night,

a leadership bid
isn't just about hubris or timing.

It's about picking your allies.

In the end you're only as good
as the support you have.

The fact that he wanted to see you
alone is a good sign.

It means he's rattled.
He wasn't sure which way you'd jump.

You need to start a paper trail.

Texts at first,
he'll feel safer with those.

Then ramp it up into e-mail.

Use his personal e-mail address -
he'll be more unguarded on it.

Get the time frame on his campaign,

strategy - whatever you can
coax out of him.

We get him on paper, we leak it
to the press, that's a slam dunk.

I'm tempted to hide a camera on you,
catch him bad-mouthing the PM.

Shove that on YouTube. That would
nail his treacherous arse.

I'm kidding, obviously.

Bye! Bye, Mummy! Good luck!

Bye.

I go to the shops.
Is there anything you need?

No, thanks.

Hey. Downing Street press office
have been on.

Kirsty Wark's doing a piece
tonight on childcare

and they want me on it.

Well, she's bound to ask me
if I back you on the immigration
thing, isn't she?

Then we go for it tonight.

'You said to wait!'

I said wait for the right moment.
We'll never get a better one.

It's still fresh
in people's minds, isn't it?

'It'll prove you're your own person,
no-one's puppet.'

I'll e-mail you the bullet points,
get you word perfect.

Oh, hang on.

I'll call you back, OK? OK.

Hello there.

Oh, no - that's fine. I'm on my way.

Best make yourself scarce.

Don't want her thinking
it's a pincer movement, do we?

Oh, good. Send her up.

Come!

Hang here a sec, can you?

'We will never raise the living
standards of low income families

'unless we address
the issue of female unemployment.

'Not just regionally but nationwide
and that comes down to

'localised affordable child care.

'I'd like to turn to another topic

'if I may.

'Was your husband, Aiden Hoynes,
right when he said that

'the Prime Minister's moratorium
on immigration

those outside our culture can

'reinvigorate our economy.

'It was he who initiated the
all-party commission to make an
impartial assessment of the impact

'of immigration on the country.

'So you support his stand, then?

'I think it's fair to say that
ordinary working people

'or indeed those not in work -
have their own reality

'about the pressure that immigration
can place on local public services
and...

'So that means that
you don't support his stand?

'What I'm saying is that
the Prime Minister's initiative

'on the immigration moratorium is...
it's a very long overdue response

'to the very real anxiety that

'the majority of people in this
country feel about the issue of
immigration.

'It's a straightforward question -
you either support your

'husband's stand or you don't.
Which is it?

'As I say, immigration is something
that he has always felt -

'feels - very strongly about.

'With respect, that is not the
question I am asking.

'I need to press you
on this, Minister.

'You either support your husband's
stand or you do not.

'Which is it?'

'Just because you don't agree
with someone

'doesn't mean you don't respect
their point of view, does it?

'We'll take that as a no, then.

'Freya Gardner, thank you very much
for joining us. Thank you.'

By rights, a doctor should check it.

Best leave me
to my own devices, Dad.

I can't. Not like this.

It's politics.

Survival of the unfittest.
She did what she had to do.

Get on home, Dad.
I'm good, I'm good, really.

I'll call by tomorrow.

Goodnight, Kenny.
Goodnight, Minister.

What happened?

An error of judgement.

You hurt me, Aiden.

Tell me, do you feel better for it?

We can all do things
we're not proud of, Freya.

I am done with waiting in the wings.

All those years you were
riding high, she sat in the back
seat for you, didn't she?

Why can't you take me to school?

He's very withdrawn of late.

Freya's not around as much, is she?
Or I'm the poor substitute.

I saw them together, Dad,
thick as bloody thieves.

You know my wife, Kenny,

how she likes to think the best
of people. How about you give me
a heads up.

Just keep me in the loop,
what's going on with her.

Anything you hear in the car
stays in the car.

There's a hot one doing the rounds.

That Babbish has rented offices
in Victoria Street.

Hashtag leadership campaign HQ.

This Twitter thing -
it's not Aiden's handiwork, is it?

He'd never stoop that low.

No, he'd never put you
in harm's way like that.
