The Rise of the Nutters[]
As a result of Malcolm Tucker's sabotage of the the legacy program announcement, he surprisingly resigns (months before the officially planned departure date) whilst getting off a plane in Sunderland. This comes as a shock to everyone, including Malcolm Tucker, Julius Nicholson and Jamie McDonald. During his resignation, he announces that he intends to act as a "caretaker" in office for a further month, and will step down fully when a new party leader (presumably his current Chancellor, Tom Davis) is elected.
