Please, just walk away
SIR – To the British Government I should like to say: please, please stop this ludicrous charade imposed by Remainers and a crazed EU. Just leave, walk away right now. Sam Bee
Lindfield, West Sussex
SIR – Is there any chance that the EU will show the slightest hint of goodwill during these negotiations? So much for our “friends” next door. Adrian Tanner
Petersfield, Hampshire
SIR – The last time I left the EU, I was travelling from France to Switzerland. There were no customs or immigration officers on the train or visible at Geneva station. Why can’t we be like the independent Swiss? Oliver Barratt

SIR – The EU referendum was not fought by political parties. Members of both major parties tried to persuade us to leave or remain.
The Government should be negotiating on behalf of the whole of the United Kingdom – not for any one party, nor for any one part of the UK.
It has already acted upon the result of the referendum by giving notice of our intention to leave the EU under Article 50. The negotiations should be about our terms of trade with the EU after we have left. Malcolm Morrison
Swindon, Wiltshire
SIR – Never in his wildest dreams can Michel Barnier have expected such support from British parliamentarians for his plan to ensure that Brexit, on which our Parliament asked us to decide, is destroyed. John Barrell
Andover, Hampshire
SIR – It is obvious now that deeply embittered Remainers have decided to use boredom deliberately as a weapon and bore the British public into submission.
They shriek in faux despair and point fingers over tiny issues, eagerly highlighted by Brussels and the BBC. Boris Johnson should just hold the fort, and not meet boredom with boredom. Brian Milton
