(Picture: John Sibley/Reuters)The chief whip, Wendy Morton, reportedly resigned and then unresigned on Wednesday night, with a No 10 spokesman issuing a statement to say that the “chief whip remains in post”.
The events happened at the end of a busy day in Westminster, during which uncertainty surrounded whether or not Conservative MPs would be expelled for defying the whip in response to a motion on fracking proposed by Labour.
