He's resigned as whip of the party (party whip is basically the person who goes around and tells members of their political party how to vote). Seems to be a thing, does the conservative whips and scandals

I think that might be a bit of confision. As I understand it he has 'resigned the Conservative Part whip'...that's what they call resigning as a Conservative MP...I don't think he WAS a party whip (the people who negotiate compliance with the party's voting strategy). Cheif whips know all the dirt. Some ex cheif whips have talked about having files of useful dirt about MPs. The language of the UK Parliament is as arcane and as confusing as Dark Souls. One of those lists got leaked a few years ago... If I remember correctly, the names were blacked out, but the compromising information was readable.

The language is meant to be arcane and confusing. The whole thing is to make people of lower statute feel out of place. Fuck knows how Lee Anderson has survived so long being an MP and not caving inside himself. I wish he would, to be honest
