On September 4, 2012, Cameron carried out a cabinet change, among other measures relocating Mitchell to two lower positions - the main parliamentary organizer and parliamentary secretary of the Treasury ^[4] .

Already on October 19, 2012, Mitchell resigned due to a scandal surrounding his conflict with the police four weeks earlier, during which he said the phrase: “I thought you guys were supposed to f *** ing help us”. Nevertheless, in a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, he denied the fact that he used the word “ plebs ” in a skirmish ^[5] . A later investigation revealed Mitchell's innocence, and policeman Keith Wallis admitted in court that he had given false evidence against the politician ^[6] .
