This is what I wrote yesterday: "My guess is that now the genie of backbench power is out of the bottle it won't easily be put back. Those Tory MPs who were part of the "81" or the "91" won't suddenly become ultra-loyal even if the ideal party leader or agenda is suddenly discovered. Rebelliousness is now in the Tory bloodstream with huge implications for how whipping should be carried out."
11.15am: Douglas Carswell MP reacting to this list argues that he's not so much a rebel as someone doing his job, representing his constituents and beliefs. Read his words.
