Chief whips are the real chaos merchants. Quote from a former tory chief bully boy:

“Problems involving members “might be debt, or it might be a scandal involving small boys”.

“They would come and ask if we could help,” Fortescue said. “And if we could we did, and we would do everything we could, because we could store up brownie points.

“That’s one of the reasons we would get a chap out of trouble – because he’d then be ours forever-more.”

Edward Heath's Tory whip would cover up 'scandals involving small boys' and MPs
