The Usual Channels
Inside the Mysterious World of Political Whips
Sebastian WhalePostscript summary
Whips – the parliamentary officers whose job it is to encourage, persuade or coerce MPs to vote with the party line – are governed by a code of silence and largely unknown to the public. Rich in anecdote and off-the-record talk, this study spans half a century of British politics, revealing their operations from the Labour government of 1974–79 through the Thatcher and Blair administrations to Liz Truss’ brief, chaotic premiership.
