'Change UK' met today and its eleven MPs have decided to part ways. This follows its European election disaster in which it spent shedloads of cash and finished eighth with not a single seat to show for its efforts. The split itself was thought to have been triggered by a public spat between Anna Soubry and Change leader Heidi Allen.
Soubry will now take Heidi's place as leader while four of her colleagues stay put - Ann Coffey, Mike Gapes, Chris Leslie and Joan Ryan.
Those who have quit Change UK will return to being just plain old independents - Chuka, Heidi, Luciana Berger, Gavin Shuker, Angela Smith and Sarah Wollaston.
By-elections anyone?
