A Labour Party shadow minister has quit after being told that she will be whipped if she does not support the Article 50 bill in Parliament.
The shadow minister, who is apparently responsible for all policy decision that directly impact on shadows, said that she wasn't going to let anyone else decide when she was going to be whipped.
"Use of a whip is a highly personal choice between two people who love each other," she said. "There is a time and a place for using a whip between consenting adults and that's usually in the dessert aisle at Iceland."
Jeremy Corbyn defended the use of the whip, stating that "if Donald Trump can waterboard people for the fun of it I don't see why I can't go around using a whip. It's not a big whip after all. I've never had a big whip, so it really shouldn't hurt much."
Most political commentators believe that this was definitely too much information.
