The mayhem in Parliament last night was indicative of where the Government finds itself at this moment. Such were the chaotic scenes that the resignation of the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, was quickly relegated to the B-plot in the storyline.
Indeed, there were reports that the Chief Whip, Wendy Morton, had resigned alongside her deputy. Allegations of physical and verbal harassment to corral Conservative MPs to vote with the Government. And Tory backbenchers defying not only a three-line whip, but a matter which had been made an effective vote of confidence.
