Summary

Whips follows Bobby Cliveden, who lands a job with her local MP and moves to London, where she joins two university friends working within the Westminster bubble. As they navigate exposés, secret liaisons, and political backstabbing, the trio uncovers the hidden and sometimes scandalous machinery behind modern government. Sharp, raunchy, and insightful, Whips peels back the curtain on the corridors of power and the women pushing through them.
