  • Looks like they are saying any one who voted against without a reasonable excuse will be appropriately punished, wonder if anyone will actually get kicked out

    Also, the list of pairings is yet to appear so many of the Tories that didn't vote may be relatively few.

    Finally, given the volatility here, the whip may be removed from some MPs but will be quickly restored when there is another important vote that the Government must win.
