Let big beasts of industry head the Brexit talks

AN EXTENDED transition period from the EU — what next?

It’s time to get hardened negotiators from industry to give a firm rebuttal to the EU instead of relying on politicians with no experience of business.

If all of our MPs had followed the democratic result of the referendum and backed the Government, rather than undermining it, the EU would not be laughing at our disarray.

alEX PRESCOTT, lancaster. OUR Prime Minister is again humiliated by the Brussels cabal. Sadly, she is too steeped in political correctness and subservience to bureaucracy to stand a chance in any negotiation.

She should resign before she digs us deeper into the mire. Her successor would be sensible to call on top businessmen such as JCB’s Lord Bamford, Sir James Dyson, Wetherspoon’s Tim Martin and Lord Sugar to take on the EU.

FRaNK McMaNUS, leeds. THERESA MAY has been given an impossible situation to resolve. Forget about how we found ourselves in such a pickle, now is the time to rally around to make the best of a bad job.

The Prime Minister must be supported by us all — that includes the people, civil servants and the politicians who created the problem. I trust that as usual we will make the best of a bad job.

WilliaM BUTT, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wilts. MRS MAY has built her career by sitting on the fence, so it’s no surprise the transition period faces being extended.
