Jeremy

A mid-level civil servant whose oversight of a crisis investigation draws institutional fire from corporate-aligned ministers. His authority erodes rapidly when the Minister for Ecology publicly brands him a failure before the Prime Minister, reducing him to a target of humiliation in the Cabinet Room. The episode never reveals his policy portfolio or seniority but implies he reports to higher political authority while lacking their protection. His professional identity hinges on institutional competence, making public shaming a professional and personal disaster.
