Several Tory rebels who were expelled by Boris Johnson after voting for legislation that blocks a no-deal Brexit on October 31 have been invited to apply to rejoin the party.
In a move that could pave the way for a climbdown, Mark Spencer, the chief whip, wrote to some of the 21 MPs, including Philip Hammond, the former chancellor, on Monday to make the offer. Mr Hammond continues to question the legality of the original decision, according to his allies.
Mr Spencer warned the rebels that he had sole discretion about whether to allow an appeal against their expulsion. He also insisted that the original decision was justified to restore discipline. “For too long the Conservative government has been hampered by those who believe that the normal rules of party politics do not apply to them,” he said.
