Three Tory MPs defect to Independent Group and slam party's 'anti-EU awkward squad'
Three MPs have quit the Conservative Party, declaring that Prime Minister Theresa May has failed to unite the country around Brexit.
The group - Anna Soubry, Sarah Wollaston and Heidi Allen - declared the "battle is over" and the "awkward squad" of hardline Leavers were now running the party "from top to toe".
They shocked onlookers, filing into parliament to shake hands and sit with their new partners, the newly-formed Independent Group - set up by disillusioned former Labour MPs.
We live in interesting times.
