Absolutely crazy:
2022 UK Government Crisis
Deputy Prime Minister Thérèse Coffey
On 19 October 2022, the Labour Party tabled a motion to introduce a bill to ban fracking in the United Kingdom. The motion was opposed and easily won by the government, with a majority of 96. Conservative Party whips had said this motion would be treated as a confidence vote. Soon after, William Wragg became the sixth MP to publicly call on the Prime Minister to go. Several Conservative MPs did not vote against the motion. During the vote, the Chief Whip of the Conservative Party, Wendy Morton, and Deputy Chief Whip, Craig Whittaker, were both thought to have resigned with Whittaker saying: "I am fucking furious and I don't give a fuck anymore." Later, it was clarified that they had not, and remained in their posts.
An MP described the vote as "chaos" with claims, denied by cabinet ministers, that Conservative whips had manhandled and bullied backbenchers into voting against. Labour MP Chris Bryant made claims on Sky News saying that he saw MPs "physically manhandled through the voting lobby" naming Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Thérèse Coffey, along with Jacob Rees-Mogg, as those he saw in the "group". Later that evening, the House's speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, announced that he had asked the Serjeant at Arms and other parliamentary officials to investigate the allegations made about the incident.
