21 House Of Commons Tory members will be expelled from the Consevative Party after voting against Boris Johnson's Brexit plans in the HOC. The phrases for this. are apparently " deselected " and " losing the whip ". Among the 21 expellees are the longest-serving Commons member, Kenneth Clarke, who has been in for 49 years, and s Winston Churchill grandson, Nicolas Soames, who been an HOC Tory for a mere 37 years! 8O :x I didn't know that British political parties could do this - Obviously, they can :oops:.
