Who breaks the whip most?

Ranked by an estimate of how often each MP voted differently from most of their own party, across every recorded Commons division at Second or Third Reading. Estimate Parliament doesn’t publish real whip records, so this is our best reading of the public voting record — not a confirmed fact. Only MPs with at least 3 recorded divisions are ranked, so one early vote doesn’t skew the table.
