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
What would it take for other towns to do the same, Lewes has its history but Guy Fawkes has fans around the nation – and only a few of them realise it was a set-up job by the ruling protestants, to vilify Catholics – I mean, they hired out the rooms under parliament and then caught him just as he was about to light the powder – pull the other one.
Didn’t realise it was that hectic – Lewes Bonfire: The Sussex town famed for burning effigies of hated public figures
Donald Trump, David Cameron and Jeremy Clarkson have all gone up in flames as part of wild 5 November celebrations…
The Sussex town famed for burning effigies of hated public figures
I read this one, which gives the impression they should be watched around the clock. Since Thatcher reinvented the role as “cabinet enforcers” and my local MP was a tory chief whip, no MP is likely to get a free vote. Great book btw.

Yeah – every UK town and city should have this, its amazing, huge carnival of the macabre and funny effigies to boot.
