Boris Johnson was fired as an "irrelevant and offensive person" by a speaker at the British Conservative Party conference, much to the delight of many delegates.
Digby Jones, a businessman and peer, criticized the former foreign secretary for commenting on what he said this summer when he was questioned about industry concerns about Brexit.
At a diplomatic dinner, Johnson reportedly made four-letter comments about business concerns.
The cross-bench man, whose speech was watched by the prime minister, said: "Business is so important that when I heard a former f-business foreign minister, he expressed his dissatisfaction.
Lord Jones, who is a former labor transport minister, has also urged the Conservatives to end tribal fighting and unite against Jeremy Corbyn's "threat" to Downing Street.
He said: "You have to unify and stop it because the threat to you is much greater than that of Brexit.
"It's that Jeremy Corbyn is at the creation of wealth what Diane Abbott is at math."
He went on to warn that if Labor came to power, there would be a "flight of capital and talent," adding, "This is not my country if this fate is in power."
The choice of British politics has rarely been so important or so clear
He said: "We must engage in this battle and turn our fire on the enemy, Jeremy Corbyn and his dangerous left-wing ideas.
"The choice of British policy has seldom been so important or so clear.
"It's between a conservative party, the union party, which wants to spread opportunities and bring people together, and Jeremy Corbyn, a man who sanctions and tolerates division and hatred."
Lewis also turned his eyes inward and warned delegates that the party needed to change and attract more people of diverse backgrounds.
To do this, he announced that the party would create a "dedicated mentoring fund" to support underrepresented people.
He said: "It is a fund to provide advice and training to help them lead a life in the public service and to encourage more people from diverse backgrounds to run for Parliament, become MPs and truly represent modern Britain.
"Because if we do not make these changes, this party – the oldest political party in the world – is facing a difficult future."
