The extraordinary conversation took place in the Conservative MPs WhatsApp group this weekend

It started with Iain Duncan Smith who wrote: "The government has the right to demand that we do not hand over power to Parliament to tie the PM's hands"

Kevin Hollinrake replied: "Government has the right to ignore legislation?"

Brexiteer Sheryll Murray: "I hope so 👍🏻"

She was backed up by fellow Brexiteer and home affairs select committee member Chris Green

Brexiteer MPs then had to be warned by justice secretary Robert Buckland: "For anyone who has any doubt, this Government, like its predecessors, observes the rule of law at all times and for all seasons."

Personal favourite of these leaked WhatsApps is this from the justice secretary. ‘Look forward to karaoke, ps don’t break the law’ buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
