Get past Brexit first, then sort out by-elections, as if we leave regardless, these MPs raison d'etre is gone.

Apart from anything else, May has already held our the olive branch of a return to the fold to the former Tories, it is only Labour Momentum and former kippers who seem so desperate for by-elections.
What happens with Brexit is immaterial as to what these MP's should do. They could have stayed in their respective parties and rebelled (ie voted against the party line). They chose to leave the respective partys. They should put themselves up for re-election.
