Gauke: Government wants to 'purge' Tory rebels
The government is seeking to "purge" Tory MPs who rebel against a no-deal Brexit, the former justice secretary has said.
David Gauke told Today that Boris Johnson was seeking to "re-align" and "transform" the Conservatives "in the direction of The Brexit Party".
A senior source from the whips office has said those who voted to block no-deal would be expelled and deselected.
