''Earlier I said the Labour leadership was unlikely to be too worried about the 50 MPs defying the whip, but that was a bit premature. When the Commons voted earlier this year on the bill authorising the government to trigger article 50 (which formally started the Brexit process), Jeremy Corbyn made it clear that shadow cabinet ministers would have to resign if they wanted to defy the whip and vote against, but junior shadow ministers who rebelled were allowed to keep their jobs. Some 47 MPs voted against the bill.''
