Bar of the House marks the threshold of the House
There have been many cases where people have felt lied to or betrayed by their MPs
Partygate - lockdown was enforced on people but MPs flagrantly ignored it - Matt Hancock affair scandal
Cash for questions scandal - 1990s
2009 MP expenses scandal - improper conduct
Some MPs choose to break the whip to represent their constituents rather than their parties whereas others do it for selfish reasons - Matt Hancock and Nadine Dorries broke the whip to go on TV shows
