It's true
but if you work as an enforcer your threats need to be more threatening than the alternative.
The Tory central office has very little to threaten MPs with, and after they enforced the whip on Owen Patterson they burned their powder. A lot of MPs won't go to fight for their government after that, one of the biggest self-inflicted political wounds in history. Seeing ministers just wipe out party credibility defending Johnson is that old adage of holding onto a rising balloon - better to fall off now and take the damage or see how long you can hold on for.

I think that's the threat the Tory whips used against their MPs
it's the threat they used against the public, to be honest.

I don't watch Strictly Maxed Factor or whatever it is the plebs do on a Saturday so I have no idea who these people are.

to a point
Much easier against individuals; I'm guessing those targeted have gone public because they think there's safety in numbers.
Speaking of which there's a lengthy semi-redacted list from a few years ago of Tory MPs and their sexual indiscretions. No idea how true it is.
