And you still won't know a damned thing! Which is fine, because I don't think anyone in Britain does, either.

(For reference, a "whip" is a parliamentary enforcer, whose job is to get party members to vote as instructed on party-line votes such as the one today.)

For more background, try this story in the New York Times about the hilariously cruel speculation in the UK over whether Prime Minister Liz Truss will last as long in office as it takes for a lettuce to go off.
