The resignation prompts a cabinet reshuffle in which Aiden's supportive wife Freya,also a politician,is offered the ministry of work and pensions. Aiden urges her to accept so that she can carry on challenging the immigration policy,surrounding her with his own former staff. Freya does indeed accept whilst Aiden becomes a house husband,driving their autistic son Noah to school.
