Different strategies show why one MP should be dumped

From: E Kirkaldy, Pontefract.

LOCAL Labour MPs Mary Creagh and Yvette Cooper campaigned with different strategies.

Mary Creagh was honest and made it clear she did not agree with or support Brexit, but kept her seat, and has kept a low profile.

Since Yvette Cooper signed, with intent, Article 50, she has become a high-profile MP, doing her best to weaken any possibility of a good deal with the EU.

Cards on the table, Mary Creagh has to be respected and admired for her honesty to constituents in Wakefield when asking for their support. I disagree with her on Brexit but she reminds me of a well known paint advert – ‘It does what it says on the tin’.

Unfortunately, for us in Pontefract and Castleford etc, Yvette Cooper does the opposite. Labour should dump her.

YOUR Editorial ‘PM’s sticky wicket’ (The Yorkshire Post, February 27) mentions Theresa May comparing herself to Geoff Boycott.

You might, too, have mentioned how the great batsman reportedly responded to demands for a second referendum – what is it you want? Best of three or best of five? Rather apt in an Ashes year.

Geoff Boycott hit the stumps with his comment about MPs who lack the moral courage to openly admit that their intention is to foil the Leave referendum win. From: John Turley, Dronfield Woodhouse.

I HAVE little doubt that Nick Martinek (The Yorkshire Post, February 28), and some of the other Brexiteers that contribute to this paper, would have been on the front line along with Nigel Farage and Dominic Raab, demanding another referendum if it had been a narrow victory for Remain.

Moreover they love to bang on about democracy, but are not in the least bit interested in why many of the 17.4 million voted Leave, only in the fact that they did so.

Would he also suggest that MPs in Remain-voting constituencies that back Brexit, such as Kate Hoey (Labour, Vauxhall), are also jailed? I doubt it.

FOR MPs to be given a pay rise of £2,000 a year, whilst keeping public service pay rises low, is more than disgusting and to say that I am appalled is putting it mildly. How can you trust them?
