Mrs May right to take tough line

Sir, - With her playground taunt claiming those who do not agree with her are running scared on her demand for another referendum, Nicola Sturgeon reveals more about her own insecurities.

It is unbecoming for our First Minister to resort to such juvenile antics. Confronted with this behaviour, the UK Prime Minister is right in taking the principled stance in seeking to protect everyone’s interests rather than giving in to those who are only satisfied when they get their own way.
