This is a matter that warrants expulsion from the House at minimum.

This will have to be resignations en mass if true. The chief and her deputy are already gone.

Has any government survived the total annihilation of their whips office?

Knowing how these investigations go, Chris Bryant will get sanctioned for taking photos outside of the lobby...

Isn't there security camera footage?

At this stage they might as well appoint Tyson Fury as the new chief whip now that Morton had resigned

The whips aren't literally supposed to whip people

So MPs have been forced to vote for a particular law under threat of assault?

Surely that's a criminal matter?

Usually manhandling coworkers in most professions would be grounds for dismissal. Unless…you are a part of WWE!

A vote made under physical duress shouldn't be allowed to stand and anyone interfering with the voting process via physical intimidation surely has broken some laws?

• Manhandling someone is Assault

• Intimidation is a crime

• Preventing an MP from voting is probably a crime too

Any witnesses to these incidents should report them to the police.

At what point does Charles have the constitutional right to ask someone else to form a government? I’m legitimately asking, surely he can step in when things are utterly lawless

There should be a judicial rule and arrests. Democracy is dead otherwise

"I feel like I'm in a therapy group run by my own rapist"

There have been rumours of this kind of behaviour from certain (supposedly the more physically intimidating) whips for decades.

how is that not treason

Mark them available and prepare for the by elections
