Following his [[election]] as Prime Minister in [[2008]], {{Simm}}, under the [[The Master's aliases|identity]] of "Harold Saxon", attended an ultimately brief session of his Cabinet in which he, after cracking a joke and thanking them, accused them of being traitors who abandoned their political parties to jump on his bandwagon. He rigged the deskphone speakers on the Cabinet Room table to release a lethal [[gas]] that killed the Cabinet ministers, while using a [[gas mask]] to protect himself and mock his victims. Following this, it was claimed that the Cabinet had gone into "seclusion", which made [[Vivien Rook]] sceptical.

In [[2010]], the Cabinet included Prime Minister [[Brian Green]], [[Deputy Prime Minister]] and [[Foreign Secretary]] [[Rick Yates]], [[Home Secretary]] [[Denise Riley]], and a black male [[Defence Secretary]]. During a [[COBRA]] meeting, the Cabinet agreed to try and hand over children to [[the 456]], haggling over the exact amount, rather than go to war and lose. Sixty two failed asylum seekers were considered expendable and offered up, only for the 456 to demand 325,000 instead. A grim discussion was had and in order to ensure extended family couldn't be part of the 'lottery', Riley proposed they hand over the bottom 10% of the school league tables as those children were expendable. The Cabinet agreed and a cover story was established. Torchwood attempted to blackmail the Cabinet into ceasing the plan but failed: Torchwood's attempt to intimidate the 456 only confirmed its power and hardened the Cabinet's stance. Control over the operation was taken by America's General [[Austin Pierce]], as Britain was seen as having caused the issue; this allowed the Cabinet to say the events of the day "were in American hands" and not there's. Denise Riley blackmailed her way into control of the Prime Minister's office.
