The British government is in chaos after the PM's resignation, triggered by a speech on immigration that inadvertently leaked the PM's policy. This power vacuum sets the stage for a battle for leadership, with the extremist party "The Nutters" and their charismatic leader Tom vying for control. Meanwhile, various characters with their own agendas are jockeying for position, including Ollie, who has been promised a job by Tom's assistant, and Hugh, who is being kept in the running by his boss, who is currently in Australia.
The Thick of It
The Prime Minister's speech on immigration sparks a chain reaction, ultimately leading to his downfall and the ascension of the Nutters, a radical group led by Tom, while Ollie secures a new opportunity under the new leadership.
