Until I found that out, I sai A-Dee-das

However, in the books Boreal has already been going back and forth for years, it’s just we don’t find out about it till Subtle Knife

Personally I think Farage doesn’t actually want us to leave, because then he loses his MEP salary and (more importantly) he won’t get invited onto Question Time and other such TV shows any more.

Those are all quotes from Memory of Light when Rand is talking to the Dark One

Both him and Godsiff are now running as independents

Labour have banned three of their MPs from standing again https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50319044 Includes Chris Williamson, but oddly not Keith Vaz, apparently they haven't made a final decision on him although it seems an obvious choice.

I’ve been told by my Lib Dem colleague that they’re optimistic about Umunna and Berger in their new seats and ambivalent about Philip Lee - on the one hand, my colleague thinks that he shouldn’t have been allowed into the party, but on the other he’s moved to run against John Redwood the arch-Brexiteer in a Remain-voting seat. For the switchers who are staying in their existing seats, he thinks Wollaston is the only one with a chance of winning.

Agreed, most of the people who vote BXP or UKIP in the Euro elections will go right back to the Tories in what they perceive as a “proper” election. A prediction I saw on Twitter is that BXP will elect one MP who within a year will have an argument with Farage and defect to either sit as an independent or join the Tories.

Most of the Lib Dem marginals are against the Tories

I thought the idea was to demand Corbyn resign as the price of a Lib-Lab coalition

The Lib Dem’s are already in talks with both the Greens and Plaid about standing down in each other’s seats, and I just saw on Twitter they’re also not running against Grieve. On the other hand, having one of their ex-Tories move to a seat that Labour won by about 30 votes last time is not ideal (Gyimah’s running in Kensington)

Bercow's standing down as is traditional for a retiring Speaker, Grieve is standing as an independent, don't know about Hammond.

Even the Speaker’s seat? (Assuming they elect Bercow’s replacement before dissolution)
