		</div><p>Boris Johnson is “goading” some Tory MPs to rebel so he can force a snap general election having purged opponents of a no-deal Brexit from the party, Conservative former justice secretary and rebel ringleader David Gauke has alleged.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Mr Gauke accused Mr Johnson of deliberately trying to lose votes to block a deal-less departure this week.</p>
<p>Mr Johnson has put rebels within his party on notice that they face losing the whip and being barred from standing for the Tories if they vote against the government.</p>
<p>Mr Gauke, the leader of the so-called Gaukeward squad of Tory rebels, said Mr Johnson&#8217;s s move was an “unusual” and “particularly confrontational” approach.</p>
<p>And he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that he has not been subject to the usual “cajoling” from Cabinet allies to urge him to support the government’s line.</p>
<p>“I don’t think there seems to be a huge effort to persuade people to support the government this week. I think they seem to be quite prepared for there to be a rebellion, then to purge those who support the rebellion from the party,” he said.</p>
<p><!--Ads3--></p>
<p>“None of that is happening. The usual operation isn’t particularly happening. It does seem to me they are almost goading people into voting against the government.</p>
<p>“Because I think the strategy, to be honest, is to lose this week and then seek a general election having removed those of us who are not against Brexit, not against leaving the European Union, but believe we should do so with a deal.”</p>
