I LOVE DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY,
THAT ETHICAL STUFF. I LOVE IT, WE ALL DO.

AND I COULD GET DRUMMED OUT OF THE
MAGIC CIRCLE FOR SHOWING YOU THIS.

NOW, I KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO BE HARD
TO BE A CHIEF WHIP,

YOU SAID, "WHERE ARE WE UP TO?"
SO I SAID EIGHT.

... OVER THE FUTURE
OF THE PLACES WHERE THEY LIVE.

MY BUM IS CLEAN - IT'S CLEAN
AS A WHISTLE

WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE THERE
IS MY REPLY.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S TOO SLOW.

NOW, I REALLY SHOULD BE
WEARING MY TRAINERS.

I NEVER HAVE HAD A MOUSTACHE, SO...

BECAUSE HE... HE HAD, ER...

JUST, ERM, PUT THE SMELL OUT,
SEE IF ANYBODY...GAGS ON IT.

IT'S JUST A MARKER.

THIS FIRST MARK RYAN MEETING
WOULD BE IN THE DIARY.

- (MALCOLM) ''LAWTON DANGLES BY A THREAD''?
- YEAH. ''DANGLES BY A THREAD''.

OH, SORRY, I DON'T REMEMBER.
WERE YOU AT THE DEPARTMENT?

THAT CHINLESS HORSE FIDDLER,
OUR FUCKLUSTRIOUS PM HAS OPENED

BECAUSE A WINE TASTING IS NOT A NIGHT
OUT, IT'S AN ADMISSION OF DEFEAT.

ER, MALCOLM IS, UM,
IS HIS NAME, MALCOLM'S NAME,

- SO WE'LL ASK, IS THE TREASURY LOSING ITS...
- YES, AND NOT BEFORE TIME!

THE NICOLA THING, I THINK,
IS GETTING A BIT WORSE.

TWO MINUTES, I WILL HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU ON THAT.

HE, UM, WORKS REALLY HARD
AT PLANNING HIS HOLIDAYS.

NOW THE DOG'S GOING IN.
IS SHE GOING TO PUT JULIE IN THE BOOT?
