Simon (now Lord) Hart was Sunak’s Chief Whip 2022-24 and has published his memoirs from the period as Ungovernable.
Leaving aside some of the prejudices one might expect from a senior Tory the book is readable and doesnt hold back on the chaos of that period for the Tories.
An entry for 21st March 2023 touches on Jonathan Gullis the then Tory MP for Stoke on Trent North who lost his seat in July 2024
Jonathan Gullis decides to vote against us after changing his mind three times and giving me a personal assurance he will support us. I find Jonathan harder to dislike than some in the Whips Office do, despite his best efforts to piss me off. It’s like owning a Labrador that can’t stop stealing from the table. He knows he will get in trouble but does it anyway
