The Independent Group (Ig) Now Have More Mps Than The Dup
Should May ditch the DUP and come to an agreement with IG?
May could get her Northern Ireland plan through without opposition of the DUP.
And IG could thwart ERG by stopping their No Deal strategy.
A win-win surely.

//As Leave.EU’s Andy Wigmore said today: “Thanks to the devastating impact of our deselection campaign across the country, we have today claimed the scalps of three of the worst offenders in Heidi Allen, Anna Soubry and Sarah Wollaston.
“The deselection process was gaining huge traction, particularly in Broxtowe and Totnes. It is clear that these faux Conservatives have jumped before they were pushed.
“Over recent months we’ve been encouraging conservative-minded voters to rejoin the Conservative Party and deliver the change the country needs. Anna Soubry chooses to call this entryism or a ‘purple momentum’, but in reality it is simply ex-UKIP voters and longstanding Conservatives rejoining their own party.
“We will continue to work with grassroots Conservatives who wish to bring about change in their constituency by supporting their efforts to replace their Remainer MPs with people who value democracy and respect the referendum result.
“The Conservative Party must become conservative again and these defections today are the first of many. We’re just getting started!//
More strength to their elbow I say.

If they push out the wrong representatives they will certainly retain and increase their majority. Consider this.
Soubry has previous form with defections. Having originally been a Liberal, she walked out on the Tories in 1981 to join the Social Democratic Party after its launch by the Gang of Four who quit Labour in protest at its march towards Hard-Leftism. She has always been the most vocally anti-Brexit of the band of Referendum Refuseniks clustered around her in what’s become known as Remainer Corner in the House of Commons, on the Tory back benches away to the Speaker’s right, consistently opposing anything except a Brexit-In-Name-Only-Remain-by-Stealth, or something barely distinguishable from it, despite the inherent hypocrisy.
Wollaston, too, is a flip-flopper, always in my view something of a false-flag ‘Conservative’ after being elected in Totnes via an Open Primary which the Tories managed to botch by allowing Labour and LibDem supporters to vote in it. During the EU Referendum campaign, she was initially Leave before switching to Remain in what looked like a planned, orchestrated move to damage the Leave campaign. More recently, she has opposed a second referendum, before U-turning and demanding one.
Allen’s 2015 election to represent South Cambridgeshire arguably owed a lot to her predecessor, former Cabinet Minister Andrew Lansley, but she has also been a serial rebel very much on the Left of the party who has often looked as if she would be far more politically at home in the Lib-Dems. Despite voting to trigger Article 50, she’s consistently voted to give the Commons powers to dilute, frustrate, or even block Brexit.
Good riddance. They belong with the other snakes. By elections should be held immediately when any MP is proven to be reneging on what they promised to their constituents.
