Thomas Jeremy King, Baron King of Bridgwater is a British Conservative politician who notably served as Employment Secretary under Margaret Thatcher, and as Defence Secretary under both her and John Major under the 1992 general election.
As the Employment Secretary, King was portrayed as the Invisible Man who nobody, even the Cabinet, knew existed, due to the state of employment under Thatcher's rule. He would later return as a background character with a visible appearance from Series 5 onwards.
Tom King makes his debut in the song "The Invisible Man", where he asks the Cabinet to guess what his name is and sings about his lack of care for the unemployed. He plans to give the 3.9 million unemployed people faces just like his, to the Cabinet's shock and horror, before dramatically disappearing.
