Vote against the government and you are out of the party – that has been the message from prime minister Boris Johnson to rebels in his own party. The energetic PM – that voted twice against his predecessor's Brexit accord – has laid down the gauntlet to pro-Remain members of his party.

The government's threat of removing the whip – disallowing MPs to run again – comes ahead of parliament's return from the summer recess on Tuesday. Opposition parties will try to pass rapid legislation to block the government from leaving the EU without a deal – something that Gauke said is unlikely to succeed.
