@gem_abbott finding out about the party whips is discovering how the sausages are made. It is an institutionalised blackmail racket, to keep their own MPs under control. Candidate selection produces MPs that follow like little yellow minions, or people they have dirt on. Williamson is just doing what whips do, but they lost control of a whip.

@gem_abbott If its true he has leverage on key people, and we know he isn't the brightest spark, why can't we send the Milk Tray man in to steal his evidence file which Gavin has definitely hidden in his sock drawer?

@gem_abbott I agree. If it is a choice between him and Braverman, he will probably ditch Williamson for fairly obvious reasons. But I imagine Williamson is a vengeful, spiteful person. Either way he risks his position beginning to crumble.

@gem_abbott Never have so many feared someone who was totally incompetent in every post they held in government.

@gem_abbott Should we assume anyone leaping up to defend him has something career-ending to hide?

@gem_abbott How do such incompetent non-entities aquire such power and influence that they can't be safely removed? They must be ace blackmailers.
