Fall in behind Frank

MODERATE stalwart Frank Field should nail his colours to the mast and found a new party called Old labour. if he and like-minded colleagues had the courage to present themselves as such, the public response would be enormous.

Many long- standing labour supporters would once again have a group of politicians in whom they could place their trust, rather than the Marxist monster looming over Jeremy Corbyn’s shoulder.

and the country would have a creditable opposition again. MARTIN SHERIDAN, Hampton, Middlesex. FRANK FIELD is the latest in a long list of MPs to resign from their job as a representative of their party voted in by their constituents.

if he quits his seat and there is a by-election, i believe he would win his seat back as an independent.

His constituency of Birkenhead voted to leave in the referendum, while labour’s stance on Brexit is, frankly, obscure.

MIKE DURAND, Penzance, Cornwall. What a different, honourable and kind place the House of Commons would be if we had more people of the same calibre as Frank Field.

MAY HALL, Sheffield.
