"Many factors combined to cause Liz Truss’s demise but it was a night of chaos
in the British parliament that triggered her resignation.

Events in the House of Commons on October 19 made it clear that the prime
minister had lost control. Conservative MPs were called into a vote that was
ostensibly about fracking but may or may not have been a vote of confidence in
Liz Truss’s government. Accusations were made that Conservative whips behaved
inappropriately in order to get their MPs to vote with the government.

How did such confusion come about and is this a standard part of whipping
operations in parliament? Key questions answered below."
