Party switches, resignations and joins
Whip withdrawals, expulsions and resignations of the whip are the curated Parliament 59 list. This snapshot does not include a Members API party-history feed, so a “join” is the current party field after that curated row. Full table: Let go by party.

New or changed MPs
Sitting members whose current Commons membershipStart is after 4 July 2024. That is the current spell in the Members API — typically a by-election, sometimes a restarted membership — not a claim they were first elected on that date.
No sitting Liberal Democrats MPs with a post-4 July 2024 membership start in this snapshot.
Commons leavers are not listed. This snapshot is sitting members only. MPs who left the Commons (resignation, death, disqualification) drop out of the Members list — Watchtower does not invent those names.
Recorded Commons divisions
Individual Aye/No lists exist for the newest 120 divisions in this snapshot. Counts use each MP’s current party. Commons Votes does not publish whip instructions or free-vote labels.
