These three won't be missed at all. They were almost certain to face deselection anyhow.

I think you're right c_v.
I don't know anything about Heidi Allen, but I suspect Anna Soubry would be on a very sticky wicket for the reasons provided in
this post.
Over the years, I've taken a particular interest in Sarah Wollaston (SW) as she's my constituency MP. When she was first elected, she replaced Anthony Steen (infamous for the 'Duck House' expenses scandal) - who had been the sitting MP forever. By comparison, she was a breath of fresh air: my wife and I met her not long after she joined parliament and we were both impressed. She came across as being the genuine article, aware of the failings of her predecessor and, seemingly, happy to be a back bench MP and uninterested in climbing the greasy pole to high office. She started to get regular spots on MSM, invariably talking about health and the NHS - something she's eminently qualified to do as she's a very experienced GP. So far, so good. What happens next is just my take on things - and I could be very wrong - SW herself would certainly say so . . .
My impression is that as she started to impress those that matter and, as her prominence grew, a switch flicked in her head and she thought to herself: 'You know what Sarah, you're actually pretty good at this politicking lark and, if you want to, you could be more than just a humble back bench MP'. She certainly caught David Cameron's eye before the referendum as a woman to watch as a future candidate for a ministerial position. And then came the referendum, at which point everything started to go pear shaped for SW. She started off supporting leave - presumably because that what she believed was the right thing to do. Then, mid way through campaigning, she jumped ships to the remain side based - as I recall - on the poster showing would-be queues of Turkish migrants coming into the UK. The cynic in me can't help but think that either that was a pre-planned stunt and/or it was to ensure she didn't blot her copybook with Cameron and put a stop to her career ambitions. And that would have worked a treat but for one little detail: remain lost the referendum and Cameron walked. SW must have been properly gutted. Since then she's gone all 'hard remain', openly campaigning for a 2nd referendum and, in so doing, has alienated large parts of her own constituency, most notably Brixham which is one of the largest fishing ports in the country. SW literally can't set foot in the town for fear of being thrown off the end of Brixham Breakwater.
So, all in all, a sorry tale and, as c_v says, almost certainly she won't retain her seat at the next general election - or bye-election - not that she'll do the honourable thing and step down as an MP to trigger one.
Tim.
PS: Attached WS' letter that I received today saying why she's left the Tories
