TORY MPs who vote to block a No Deal next week will be sacked from the party, we can reveal.
No10 will bar
Remainer rebels from standing at the next general election.
Boris Johnson is planning the move to quell a bid by MPs to rush a law through Parliament to delay Brexit beyond October 31, Sun columnist James Forsyth reveals today.
The PM will treat next week’s vital Commons votes like a no-confidence vote in his Government, with rebel Tories disqualified from contesting their seats.
Former pro-Remain Cabinet ministers such as
David Gauke and Philip Hammond would end their careers as Tory MPs if they back the legislation.
No10 hopes the move will persuade some waverers not to rebel.
It deals a major blow to Remainers’ hopes of blocking a
No Deal as they see next week as the last chance to thwart Mr Johnson’s Brexit plans before he
suspends Parliament the following week.
