He appeared on ITN after swearing at a member of the public who confronts Abbot . In the transition he managed to remain as Senior Advisor when Nicola Murray becomes Secretary of State . He fell out with Nicola after she inadvertently thwarted his plan to stand as an MP because his association with her was considered' too divisive' . In series 4, he is unhappily working in the Coalition government, having left Nicola and defected to Fergus Williams and Adam Kenyon's "Inbetweener" party after the election, as they were looking for someone to explain the Fourth Sector and their brand of ethical politics was something he could believe in . He was dismayed when he realised his new party were quite prepared to ditch their ideals to enter a coalition with Peter Mannion's party (whom Glenn had "spent his whole career trying to keep out" in his old party). He is mostly ignored by Fergus and Adam, and bitterly reflects that there is no - one like him left at the department now . He naturally jumps at the chance to help Malcolm bring down Nicola as Leader of the Opposition, leaking an old email that showed her support of a controversial policy that resulted in the suicide of Douglas Tickel, while she was Secretary of State at DoSAC . Despite this, he was not allowed to return to his former party, and was still regarded by Malcolm as a traitor . At the Goolding Inquiry in episode 4.6 he denounced Ollie Reeder as spineless and without conviction, publicly apologising for bringing him into politics . He also lied about his involvement in the leaking of emails that led to Murray's resignation . Glenn resigned as Advisor for the Fourth Sector Initiative in episode 4.7, giving a speech to the staff of DoSAC on how much he disliked them . He intended to hand himself to the police for perjuring himself in the inquiry, but decided against it . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> TBA </Th> <Td> Adam Kenyon </Td> <Td> Ben Willbond </Td> <Td> Special Adviser to the Minister of State, DoSAC (formerly Night Editor,' Daily Mail') </Td> <Td> Series 4 and Specials </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="5"> The put - upon night editor is seen in "Spinners and Losers", desperately attempting to write a coherent editorial from the conflicting stories leaking from Westminster . He eventually decides to write a piece about the "Night of Spin", naming those who have annoyed him as the night's "losers". In series 4 he is revealed to be in "the Inbetweener" party and works in DoSAC as Special Advisor to Fergus Williams . At the Goolding Inquiry in episode 4.6 it was revealed that he and Fergus were part of a team that met with Dan Miller to talk about a potential future coalition with Miller's party and the removal of his own party leader . Glenn Cullen described him in his departure speech as loathsome and most suited to working at the Daily Mail, a view that Emma and Phil also share . </Td> </Tr>
