Paul Critchley

Paul Critchley pits Catherine Walker against Mrs. Pritchard on the news program Newsnight to try to decimate her in the lead-up to the general election. Unfortunately for him and the Conservative Party, this results in Catherine's untimely defection to the Purple Alliance and her becoming Chancellor of the Exchequer, while he remains in opposition. After election, Paul Critchley becomes leader of the opposition and finds himself opposite his old colleague in the House Of Commons.
