Three MPs left the Conservative Party of Theresa May on Wednesday to protest the " disastrous " Brexit management and what they call a " sliding right " party. They joined the Independent Group in Parliament formed Monday by 8 Labor MEPs secessionist. A gesture that weakens a little more Theresa May who tries with difficulty to form a common front to approve an agreement of rupture between London and Brussels.

Anna Soubry, Heidi Allen and Sarah Wollaston, three angry women said they made this painful decision after months or even years of frustration.
Former minister and outspoken advocate, Anna Soubry has violently denounced a party phagocyted by Europhobic deputies of the European Research Group (ERG).
" The hard right wing, this brigade of uncompromising, anti-European, who have destroyed all our leaders for 40 years, now reigns on the conservative party at all levels. They are the Conservative Party , "she said.
Coming from the business world, Heidi Allen has not been left behind and criticized a party redefined by the Brexit that no longer represents its values:
" When we let a minister say " shit to the business community, " our Prime Minister must submit to the law of the ultra Brexiters and forcibly drag the country and Parliament to the precipice of a Brexit without agreement, for me it's too much, "she asserts.
These high-profile defections see the majority of a government already very poorly reduced to a trickle and they may not be the last, to the chagrin of Theresa May unable to form a common front to approve his agreement to Brexit six weeks from the deadline and while the scenario of an exit without agreement hangs.
