With Hugh in Australia and Glenn in Wales, Ollie is left in charge, feeding policies to junior minister Ben Swain. He is one of the 'Nutters', the group keen to take power when the P.M. resigns and keen to make a name for himself - which he does in the wrong sense when Jeremy Paxman skewers him on 'Newsnight'. This is music to Tucker's ears as it is in his interest for the P.M. to remain in power for as long as he can. Ollie's new girlfriend Emma is working for Shadow Minister Peter Mannion and hopes to impress by stealing one of Ollie's idea for use on their immigration policy though things do not go fully to plan.

The Rise of the Nutters
I can see why some people don't like this show, actually that's a bear faced lie on my part, I don't see how anyone can watch this and think, "you know this Is ok, but I was into geography more in school, I kind of wish they talked about oxbow lakes more often." And you deer reader may be thinking now "no one has literally ever said that innes your just lieing to make your point seem better, also you don't have a bear face and that's not even how you say that expression, it's bare face not bear face. Actually why did you keep on referring animals in this review." And to you I say whoo knows. (Owl joke)
