[[Harriet Jones]] was appointed Prime Minister by Queen [[Elizabeth II]] after the incident ([[WEB]]: ''[[UNIT website]]''). By [[Christmas]] 2006, Jones had brought in a number of changes and was viewed positively, with some calling her term the start of a "golden age". Her destruction of the retreating [[Sycorax]], however, earned her the disfavour of the [[Tenth Doctor]] and he ensured her political downfall. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'') [[Torchwood Institute]] leader [[Jack Harkness]] once rang her, angrily demanding to know why Torchwood files were being "given" to the opposition leader (presumably "Saxon").
