Nadine Dorries was booted out of a Tory MPs Whatsapp group chat after she backed Boris Johnson last night in the wake of the Brexit minister's dramatic resignation.
Brexiteer and lockdown sceptic Steve Baker quickly removed the Culture Secretary from the 100-strong group chat as she called the PM a "hero", Sky News' Sam Coates revealed.
Soon after Lord Frost, who negotiated Britain's departure from the EU, quit Cabinet with a letter to Mr Johnson and decided to leave immediately, Tories expressed their worry after what has been described as the PM's worst week in office.
In the 100-strong group chat called 'Clean Global Brexit ', messages seen by the broadcaster showed Theresa Villiers, the former Northern Ireland secretary, describing Lord Frost's exit as "very worrying".
And Tory MP for Andrew Bridgen insisted it was a "disaster" as Lord Frost was concerned about the "policy direction" of the Government like most Tory backbenchers.
Top Tory backbencher Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown said it was a "further hammer blow" to Mr Johnson and said he needs an advisor, possibly from the Brexit team, who he can trust.
Sir Geoffrey said a leadership challenge must "be on the cards" next year following the PM's embarrassing plan B rebellion last week.
He stopped short of calling for one in this group chat.
But Ms Dorries backed the PM and said: "The hero is the Prime Minister who delivered Brexit.
"I'm aware as someone said today that regicide is in the DNA of the Conservative party, but a bit of loyalty to the person who won an 83 majority and delivered Brexit wouldn't go amiss."
Seconds later after removing her from the group, Mr Baker said "Enough is enough".
Mr Brigden added: "About time, thanks Steve."
Lord Frost reportedly left Cabinet on "good terms" with the Prime Minister.
But the arguments in the Tory Whatsapp group chat shows the chaos and division within the party at the moment, with MPs disagreeing on issues from Brexit, Covid lockdowns and high taxes.
