Update members from 2019 General Election #111

Had a crack at doing this, and all the data updates are in.

However, the one thing which I have noticed is a bit off is that all MPs that continued being MPs in ministers-2010.json have had their end dates removed, I assume due to the data update overwriting the manual changes made by https://github.com/mysociety/parlparse/blob/master/scripts/json-wmc-2017-end. I'm not sure if this is desired behaviour or not - if not, how's best to go about fixing that?

Hi - thanks very much for this but I'm sorry, I hope it wasn't a lot of work, as we already have this data, as you can see at e.g. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mps/ (new member IDs in results order). It hadn't been pushed as it was updating live overnight, and I hadn't had time to commit it, but it is there now.

No problem - no bother at all! Thanks very much for all your hard work :)
