PM delivers ultimatum, telling rebels to get behind the government or get out

Conservative rebels are breaking cover as the prime minister, DrCaeserMD, cracks down on rebels attempting to remove him, deciding that they would rather resign and leak to deal the most harm than stay in the party and government.



The resignations come in the aftermath of a failed plot to remove the prime minister and install 'dries' into positions of power. The leader of the plot and attempted coup, Friedmanite19, was expelled and suspended from the party on Monday evening. Last night he was joined by fewbuffalo, the former work and pensions secretary, cthulhuiscool, and mumble8721. All expressed dismay at the decision to remove Friedmanite19 and some attacked the prime minister and the party, accusing him of stacking the cabinet full of "yes-men"



Earlier today, the rebels dealt a further blow by leaking confidential cabinet chat that saw fewbuffalo advocating a cut to the international aid budget in response to the motion to cut foreign aid put forward by fellow rebel cthulhuiscool. It also saw National Unionist MP, ThatPerthFan, the secretary of state for international development, lamenting that he couldn't abolish foreign "in case people had objections".



The National Unionist Party manifesto called for the foreign aid target to be abolished and instead distributed on a case by case basis.



Conservative cabinet ministers have dismissed the leak of cabinet and subsequent attacks on the government by the Traffic-Light opposition.



real-friends, the education secretary, said that "it doesn't matter what's going on in private - we have reiterated our support [for 0.7% GDP to be spent on foreign aid] publicly on numerous occasions. Maybe this level of dramatisation and constant focus on the past and small details is what holds the left back. While the Conservatives continue to show pragmatism and a forward-focus attitude."



In a grueling prime minister's questions, when questioned on the recent resignations of MPs and whether the government was as unstable on the inside as it appeared to be on the outside, DrCaeserMD took a much tougher line than he did last night.



"Absolutely not. Our actions represent a clear crackdown on those who seek to sew the seeds of division in our government and use sounding out exercises as a means to push their own political agendas and personal ambitions at such a crucial time in British history. Either get behind the government or get out."



Reports suggest that the slew of resignation statements and leaks are a part of a coordinated attempt over the coming days to undermine the prime minister's authority and boost the prospects of Conservative members defecting to Friedmanite19's new party grouping, preliminary called the Democratic Freedom Party.



The hope is that the campaign will result in Conservative members losing faith in the party and, fearing the threat of losing votes at the next general election, will divert and support the DFP. Friedmanite19 is pointing to the success of the Classical Liberals as an example of which the new party will follow.



Despite no resignations occurring today, the prime minister is not comfortable. When asked on if he can expect anymore resignations in the coming week, he responded that he "will rarely ever speak on matters of speculation, and this time is no different."



Speculation suggests that the secretary of state for culture, media and sport, saldol, is a key target for Friedmanite19. When The Monolith contacted saldol for this article, asking if he was being targeted and what his response was to the slew of resignations and those who are starting a new party, saldol did not respond back.



On top of having to handle Conservative rebels attempting to start a new party using his members, DrCaeserMD is also being urged to rein in his National Unionist secretary of state for business industry and trade.



Unownuzer717 , in a debate on illegal immigration, said "when you read the stories of so-called 'child migrants' who are clearly adults raping girls in Swedenistan, and only getting a slap on the wrist as punishment because they are legally 'children', it's no surprise why these rapefugees get away with their crimes."



The remarks have caused opposition party MPs, including the Classical Liberals, to call on his resignation. Included within these calls was a backbench Conservative MP lusvig, who said that "these racist comments should make him ineligible to hold any form of cabinet position and I call upon him to resign."



In prime minister's questions, DrCaeserMD was directed called on to sack the BIT secretary. The prime minister demurred from sacking the secretary, however, and instead denounced the remarks and called on Unownuzer717 to reconsider his language.



DrCaeserMD is understood to have no desire to abandon a long standing convention in which only a party leader can sack their party members from cabinet.
