Priti Patel told opposition MPs in the Commons to "shut up" - hours before she dramatically resigned as Home Secretary.
Ms Patel was outlining her legacy in the ministerial post and heckled as she paid tribute to Boris Johnson at the despatch box when she hit back at members of the Labour party.
She geared up to outline her "pride" for having served in Mr Johnson's administration, but was heckled by a number of MPs.
Ms Patel swiftly told them to "shut up" before adding: "I'm proud to serve in this Government at which i'd like to thank the Prime MInister's past and present and a wide range of officials."
Hours later she quit as Home Secretary insisting it was her "choice" to continue serving the public from the backbenches.
It is not unsuual for ministers to quit their positions hours after new PM's have been announced.
But it may have been unexpected by many wtihin the Tory party as the new PM Liz Truss and Mr Johnson are often deemed very similar.
In her resignation letter to Boris Johnson, shared on social media, Ms Patel said: “It has been the honour of my life to serve as Home Secretary for the last three years,” she tweeted.
“I am proud of our work to back the police, reform our immigration system and protect our country.”
During the course of her tenure, Ms Patel was accused of bullying staff and heavily criticised by campaigners for her immigration and asylum reforms amid accusations her policies were “anti-refugee”; and fell out of favour with the police amid a row over pay freezes.
But her supporters champion her for being "fair and firm" with a no-nonsense approach on difficult subjects which prompt debate.
In April Ms Patel signed what she branded a “world-first” agreement to send migrants deemed to have arrived in the UK illegally to Rwanda – a policy considered highly controversial among opponents, as well as some Conservatives, in light of concerns over the East African nation’s track record on human rights among other factors.
