The Cabinet members who must supply the Brexit Britain voted for

SIR – Charles Moore (Comment, June 30) is right to say that Cabinet members who voted to leave the EU should consider what to do if, as expected, Theresa May does not propose the kind of Brexit the country voted for.

If Brexit is fudged the Tories will not be trusted for a very long time. This would facilitate the election of a Corbyn government.

The time to act is now before any agreements are signed. Our future as an independent nation is in the hands of David Davis, Boris Johnson, Liam Fox et al. Janet Clarke Chertsey, Surrey

SIR – Don’t Theresa May and Philip Hammond appreciate that their impending betrayal will lose them millions of core voters and let in Corbyn? No amount of sops will compensate for this arrogant disregard for the referendum result. J D Mortimer

Great Harwood, Lancashire SIR – The success of a play relies on holding the tension right to the very last word. Unfortunately this Brexit drama has long been stuck, like an old 78, since the vote for Brexit in 2016 was traduced by Michael Gove (Brutus) when he stabbed Boris Johnson (Caesar) and put his weak and unstable wife Theresa May (Calpurnia) into the job of prime minister.

But there’s one thing left to give life to this failing drama: the element of surprise. It’s way too late for this sorry Cabinet to be weeping and wailing about what choices remain.

If Britain is to overcome the second Roman Empire, we must hope that even now a plot to rid us of those who would collude with the enemy is well under way, obviating any need to gather at Chequers next week.

My endgame choice would be to see Sajid Javid and Liz Truss elected as Prime Minister and Chancellor. Who else should be in Cabinet? The Countess of Northesk London N6

SIR – For Britain, Brexit is about freedom. For the EU, it is about money and power. That is why the UK will ultimately win. John Frankel Kingsclere, Berkshire

SIR – I cannot understand Mrs May’s dealings with Michel Barnier. He appears to be dictating the terms on which we leave the EU. The EU has no economic, fiscal or monetary strength.

Britain has agreed to pay €39billion when we leave, but we should withhold that sum until our leaving is on satisfactory terms. If the EU wants to put up tariffs, fine, then we can put up tariffs on EU cars, wine, cheese and anything else which we choose. Why won’t the Government get on with it? Richard Littlewood Penrith, Cumbria

SIR – I see poor Michel Barnier’s problem. If he does not know what we want, how can he scornfully refuse it? CG Joy London N3
