Chaos at Chequers

WHATEVER the other merits or demerits of the resignations of David Davis and Boris Johnson, their delayed nature is a self-inflicted wound for the Prime Minister.

Fancy thinking the way to impose her will on the most heavyweight politicians in the country was to lock them away for 12 hours in Chequers, confiscate their mobiles and announce that anyone who resigned would have to order a taxi home!

You’d expect someone who has risen to be Prime Minister to show a bit more grace and judgment.

ROGER SCHAFIR, London N21. No 10 kept David Davis and the rest of the Cabinet in the dark over the Chequers agenda.

Indeed, the Prime Minister seems to have briefed German leader Angela Merkel before putting the proposals before her own ministers.

Will the new Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab be yet more flexible in accepting the EU’s demands, while further neglecting the wishes of the people p who voted to leave the EU?

ROGER J. ARTHUR, Storrington, W. Sussex.
