After Margaret Thatcher’s resignation, the ruling Conservative Party is about to elect a new leader.

After the general election, Urquhart submits his suggestions for a reshuffle that includes his desired promotion.

“If I want to write a movie, I'll write a screenplay, but if I have an idea for a book, it's something that I think can only be done novelistically.”
