Special Advisor to the Prime Minister & Downing Street Chief of Staff. Political fixer. The Campaign Manager.

( melisa aslı pamuk, she/her, thirty three ) We just saw kamile kaplan entering 10 downing street. I heard through the grapevine that their loyalties lie with the government, and that they also go by the campaign manager. Be careful, they work as the downing street chief of staff & special advisor to the prime minister and are known to be vain, selfish, or secretive. However they’re also known to be diligent, organised, and protective.

"Doesn't there have to be something there to begin with to be made official? We're just having some fun, why does it have to be anything more?"

"Well, if I could tell myself anything it would be not to go around climbing trees. The climb is not worth the fall. Which really could've set my life off on a very different path but I like to think some advice would stay the same no matter what road I went down. The value of hard work and of putting yourself first. No one else ever will"

"That there's such thing as the rare honest politician, they're just a myth entirely. But don't tell the voters that, it'll make my job that bit harder"

"For free? Not bloody likely"

“Well to ever become PM I would need to become an MP first and that raises a new question: why would I ever put myself willingly in a place where my future is decided by fickle voters? And then once I'm in there I'd be dealing with even fickler false allies" "Believe me, I know just how quickly a person's allegiance can be swayed, I've been the one doing it often enough. Besides, I’ll get paid what I’m owed in the end, and until then? There’s nothing wrong with a little power behind the throne”
