MODERATORS
Sounds like something like you'd hear an authoritarian regime doing. I get the idea of backing the party line, but this seems a step too far. Discourse should be encouraged not shunned.
Much as I dislike the Tories, this his how cabinet government works, you are meant to discuss internally and then take ‘collective responsibility’ once the policy is decided.
Not really surprising that, if you don’t follow the Goverment line, you lose the government position.
Note - he remains an MP and now a lot freer to speak his mind in parliament
