Biography: Joseph "Brian" was born in 1966 in Tokyo as his father worked at the UK Embassy to Japan. His father was a former RAF crewman and Suez Crisis veteran and his mother a painter. Only a few months after he was born his parents returned to London where he spent his childhood years. His father attended Doctoral school and his mother spent most of her time taking care of him. When he came of age to attend school Brian was a shy and timid boy. He and his siblings where encouraged into "highbrow" activities from young ages and at age 6 stated his goal was to one day be "world king".

Hansen was sent to boarding school in East Sussex with his siblings after his mother suffered a debilitating panic attack at 11. He excelled in ancient languages but was terrified of the teacher's usage of physical beatings as punishment. His parents' relationship started to fail, with his father turning to the bottle and his mother being nearly perpetually hospitalized for mental health issues.

He earned a Queen's Scholarship to attend Westminster School. Hear he began to grow out of his shy child shell and turn into the current humorous personality he wields. He decided to abandon the Church of England that his parents were members of, becoming a Catholic despite attending an Anglican school, mostly to spite his anti-Catholic father. He also ditched his first name of Joseph for Brian, which he is generally referred to as now. The school teachers soon came to hate him and often described him as lazy and tardy but he generally popular. He got onto the school debating team as well as excelling in English and Classic studies. After graduating he took off a year to teach at a boarding school in Canada.

He then received a scholarship to read Literae humaniores at Balliol College, Oxford. He ended up joining a group known as the Bullingdon Club, a group known for it's poor behavior which he later regretted. He also edited for the school magazine and attempted to be elected President of the Oxford Union. He received a upper second-class degree, deeply disappointed he did not receive a first. He married his first wife shortly after graduation, giving birth to three children from 1988 to 1991. Their marriage was ended in 1994.

Brian managed to land a job for the Daily Telegraph in 1993. He was turned down on his request of being a war reporter and instead quickly established himself as one of the paper's most popular writers, and it's only well-known Eurosceptic as he was sent to Brussels to report on the European Commission. Word had it that Hansen was in fact one of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's favorite journalists. . His outspoken opinions on the European Union mirrored that which was causing a rift in the Conservative Party, resulting in their disastrous defeat in 1997. He himself was defeated in a run for MP for his home constituency of Brent Central that year, later being elected for Henley in 2001.

Despite initially following the Tory Party line, he later started to side with the more liberal side on certain issues, voting yes to the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and supporting a repeal of Section 28. In 2003 he voted yes to joining the invasion of Iraq and visited Baghdad in April, only to later speak against the war and the Prime Minister. In 2004 Hansen was shortly appointed to (Not-Howard)'s shadow cabinet but was dismissed due to tabloids revealing a several year long affair that resulted in two aborted pregnancies. Hansen was re-elected in 2005 and backed the successful bid of Daniel Campion to become party leader.

In 2008 Hansen successfully ran for Mayor of London. He defeated incumbent (Not-Livingstone) and become Mayor. He went through a notable leftward trend during his first term, putting into place new environmental regulations. He supported the London Living Wage as well as banning London buses from displaying posters for the Christian group Core Issues Trust, an organization that views homosexuality as a mental illness. He retained projects from (Not-Livingstone) such as the 2012 Olympic Games and the Crossrail, even being accused of taking credit for them. He was re-elected over (Not-Livingstone in 2012.)

His second term was focused much more on the "Vote Yes" campaign and efforts to get the UK to leave the EU. In 2015 he ran for election to the position of MP for Sutton and Cheam while still serving as mayor. He won election and campaigned heavily for the successful vote to leave the EU in 2016. Hansen became Foreign Secretary in 2016 under Prime Minister Diana Naismith. During this time he backed a more aggressive policy toward Russia. He returned to backbench in 2018. In 2019 Brian was successful in the Conservative Party leadership election, thus becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Shortly after becoming PM he announced the UK would leave the EU by the end of the year with or without a deal. As the October 31st deadline for a deal approached and Parliament prepared to extend EU membership until January 30th, a desperate Hansen had parliament prorogued in September, sparking fury from remainers who launched a supreme court case and won. A new Parliament voted for an extension, which the Prime Minister promptly refused to sign. However, in order to avoid being found in contempt of Parliament, the PM sent an unsigned letter to the EU asking for an extension accompanied by a signed letter urging EU negotiators not to accept.

In December the UK had another election, with Hansen and the Tories winning a landslide victory and one of the largest parliamentary majorities in history. He now awaits to finish the process of exiting the EU and the rest of his next term.

To be fair, that part of the app is similar to Farage, so I don’t see any issue with it because people are more likely to focus on the support for a WTO Brexit and so on.

I do know that in the UK pro-gun rhetoric is a lot less limited than say the US, but currently trying to win the hard right in order to stay viable (since Tories will probably get to implement Brexit/most pro-Brexit folk support Tories in and after 2019 election) rather than necessarily appeal to a wider audience.

Also it is guaranteed to give me some media attention. No such thing as bad publicity.

Appearance: Annastacia Palaszczuk
Character Cons. of Origin:
Character Cons. of Residence: Liverpool
Character Party Affiliation: Labour
Main Strengths: Young, Enormously Well Connected, National Name Recognition
Main Weaknesses: Politically Inexperienced, Seen as 'Too Moderate' by some
Biography:
Born into a union family on 31 December, 1983, the 'New Years Babe' became a noted critic of [Not-Corbyn] as an MP on the issues of antisemitism and ahead of the 2019 election privately professed to believing that the party's leadership was out of touch and 'run by the worst kind of snobs'.

Growing up in Liverpool, her father was a factory worker while her mother tended a bar. Her parents would be killed in a car crash one evening, she survived thanks to the NHS and quick thinking by the doctor. She would be raised by her grandmother from 1995. In 1999, aged only 16 she began working at McDonald's. In 2000, she was physically and verbally assaulted by her manager. Sexual assault became a later charge only because of the tenacity of the union case worker. Anna Rollings, with the same tenacity that led her to academic success as she graduated would immediately bring it up with her nan. Nanna Rollings, much like her son had supported the union movement her entire life. This meant that her first point of advice was to follow up with joining USDAW, and later on, with a ten month union-run investigation, involving 'hiding behind bins' for her case worker to catch colleagues after and before shifts, her manager would be fired. Anna found herself inspired by the ferocity of the representative(s) who worked on her case and would go onto study Law, gaining entry to study for her LLB at the University of Liverpool from May of 2002.

At roughly this same juncture, she would be offered employment as a part-time Union Organizer with USDAW. This particular position was one she adored, and it was offered in large part due to her proven pro-union bona fides and to some extent, pity from the interviewer. In 2006, she graduated with her LLB and became the divisional officer for the K Region, building a broad network of name recognition and for four consecutive years received recognition as the top division in the UK. She also grew particularly close to local Labour Representatives in her area, parachuting USDAW-aligned candidates into safe Labour seats. In 2010 she accepted a change to the top Legal Officer and after three years as one of the union's strong legal minds, she mounted a campaign for General-Secretary at the 2013 national conference and narrowly won out. Under her leadership, the Union's organizing model and emphasis were increased, with stronger KPIs for Organizers with the increased membership figures gaining the union some frowns from other unions and members alike as a 'blatant powergrab to increase her own power base'. For the most part however, her efforts to bolster the union's membership with greater emphasis on organization proved fruitful, higher density figures were being reported and this enabled stronger bargaining while the bottom line of the union improved and with greater membership, she had a somewhat greater say in the Labour Party's upper echelons. As General-Secretary, she also oversaw USDAW's increased collaboration with 'adjacent unions', working with Unite the Union where alignment was possible.

In 2016, her image which until this point was as 'the young lady who runs the shoppies', having been 32 at the time, and three years into her tenure, she was proud of her efficiency but her cold and relentless work spirit led to labels of bitchiness and hostility. While affable and personable with members, some called her 'a bitch' behind closed doors. The MPs she had parachuted into their seats proved critical and advisable allies, and in the course of 2016, plans were made for her to enter Parliament at the next election with the MP for Liverpool Walton announcing they would retire at the next election in due course and Anna securing Labour Party backing in short order. She personally supported Brexit but allowed union public opinion to endorse the union's public position in favour of Remain. Upon Leave's victory she personally sought to gear the party for an election, suspecting one would emerge soon, mobilizing internally for a 'acceptance of the vote' movement. She entered 2017 winning her safe seat easily, instead gaining national attention for a speech she'd deliver at a joint rally with [Not-Corbyn] where she decried 'those who take until we have nothing more to give'. [Not-Corbyn] backers and momentum continued to characterize her as "viciously pro-employer", pointing to collective bargaining arrangements made that they thought were insufficiently strong. Her supporters have defended her as "the leader of the biggest private sector union".

In 2019 she was a vociferous voice of dissent, criticizing the party's position on Brexit as two steps forward and a billion back. She enters 2020 eager to take the role of leadership from the left of the party, and able to play up her 'womanly' and 'uniony' positions.

He built a reputation as a smart, hard-working student, though he would often avoid social gatherings in favor of his studies. His parents were staunch Tories, and Duncan would follow in their footsteps, joining the Young Conservatives in 1988. However, he began to feel unnerved and alienated as a radical faction began to take control of the organizations. As a One-Nation Conservative, Duncan disagreed with some of the more reactionary and arrogant elements that began dominating young tory discourse, and he thus began to distance himself from the organization.

While his father wished for him to take over the Coffee business, Duncan had little interest in the corporate world, and instead chose to study to become a Doctor at the Oxford University Medical School. Upon attaining his BM BCh and completing the Foundation Programme, he went back to Windsor to work as a GP. His work as a GP helped build a small amount of name recognition with the local community, and Duncan still held an interest in a future career in politics. He eventually decided to act upon that interest and stood for election in 2010, being selected as the Conservative candidate in Windsor. Duncan ran a competent, if somewhat boring campaign, easily winning the safe Tory seat as the Party managed a coalition with the Lib Dems.

As a fresh MP, Duncan acted as a strong supporter of (Not-David Cameron), favoring "strengthening our NHS, rebuilding our economy, and keeping Britain safe". He supported the (Not-Cameron) economic policies though expressed disappointment at the mixed results, as well as the National Living Wage. He voted for the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, and supported the intervention in Libya. He became known as a reliable ally to the PM and created a reputation as a measured and respected MP. He easily won re-election in 2015 as the Conservatives took a majority in Parliament.

Things turned against Duncan for a time however as the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016. He had campaigned in favor of remain in his constituency and was dismayed at the result of the referendum. However, he stated that he respected the will of the voters and promised to work for a smooth transition away from the EU. He was appointed Minister of State for Health in 2016 by Naismith and primarily worked on supporting the Naismith government's efforts to streamline the NHS and reduce costs. He was a strong supporter of Naismith's Brexit deal and fought for it on the floor of the Commons, however, his efforts were unsuccessful.

Following the 2019 elections and with a hard Brexit looking increasingly possible, Duncan Ingram finds himself privately at odds with the Hansen government on Britain's biggest issue. He remains generally loyal to the Party, however. He joined the One Nation Conservative Caucus and currently plans to work on cementing himself as a sensible voice for more mainstream and moderate Tories.
Other Info: Married to Amanda Turner in 1995. He has two daughters.

Biography: Duncan Simon Ingram was born on 25th April 1970 as the middle-child of an upper-class family (upper-class has a different meaning in the UK to the US. The only people considered upper class are the Royal Family and other nobility, who cannot serve in the Commons. The more correct term for Ingram's background would be 'upper middle class') in Windsor. His father owned a successful regional Coffee chain while his mother chose to stay at home to raise the kids. He attended St George's School in his pre-teen years and Eton College (I am sceptical that his parents would be able to afford this, his Dad's coffee chain would have to a lot bigger than regional if he was to be able to afford sending his kids to Eton) in his teens. He built a reputation as a smart, hard-working student, though he would often avoid social gatherings in favor of his studies. His parents were staunch Tories, and Duncan would follow in their footsteps, joining the Young Conservatives in 1988. However, he began to feel unnerved and alienated as a radical faction began to take control of the organizations (the radicalisation of the young conservatives happened during the late 70s/early 80s, iirc they would have actually started to moderate by the time Ingram joined). As a One-Nation Conservative, Duncan disagreed with some of the more reactionary and arrogant elements that began dominating young tory discourse, and he thus began to distance himself from the organization.

While his father wished for him to take over the Coffee business, Duncan had little interest in the corporate world, and instead chose to study to become a Doctor at the Oxford University Medical School.

(A lot of remainer tory MPs like Ingram were involved in a mass-expulsion of tory MPs under Hansen in September 2019 when they voted against the Government on whether Parliament should be able to seize control of the Brexit process. Was he involved in this rebellion and subsequent explusion? Why/why not? If so, was Ingram allowed to re-join the tory ranks as a backbencher later on?)
