The 21 Tory MPs Boris Johnson has sacked from the party after Brexit defeat
Boris Johnson’s historic showdown with MPs ended last night with 21 Tory rebels being expelled from the party.
The Prime Minister, who lost a crucial vote yesterday that gives the Commons control of the order paper, swiftly sacked 21 MPs who rebelled against him in the battle to prevent a no-deal Brexit.
Among the MPs to be sacked was Rory Stewart, who told the BBC this morning that he was expelled by text while receiving a “Politician of the Year” award from GQ magazine.
