As a Minister can only be “fired” by the PM surely that’s down to the principles or otherwise of the PM? There’s plenty of stuff that used to be a slam dunk - fiddling your expenses, lying to Parliament, lying by to the reigning Monarch, that are open questions in the UK in the 2020s.
My money would be on someone else taking the fall - whoever set up the group. As I understand it Signal is an approved app for the Department of Defense.
Then again being sacked in disgrace isn’t what it used to be either. An ermine cloak and being resurrected as the UK Ambassador to the USA couldn’t be ruled out.
