    That’s what they’re voted in to do, look after their constituents, not the party

    That is not true. When you stand for a party then you stand for the manifesto it presents. When the vote is based around that, then you have to vote with the party. It is what you were voted in for.

    Johnson called a three line whip with the Patterson vote. This is where Tory MPs should have grown a pair. It was not part of the manifesto to change the ministerial code.

    A lot of what Tories have voted in was in the manifesto. People were jumping up and down and pointing at it.
