Straight to the POINT

÷ THANK you for naming the Tory MPs who have defied their party and voted against Brexit. But what about the Labour MPs who are ignoring the majority of their constituents who voted to Leave? JOHN WELLS, Coventry. ÷ THE first line of the Daily Mail Comment: ‘Was this the moment Brexit died?’ I would substitute ‘the Tory Party’ for ‘Brexit’. G. SKENE, Lytham St Annes, Lancs. ÷ A COUPLE of weeks ago, my husband and I returned from a tour of New Zealand. Visiting the parliament in Wellington, I was surprised at the lack of security. I asked our coach driver about this and he replied: ‘We don’t need it. No one bothers with us — we’re too far away.’ How I wish he’d been right. RUTH BENNETT, Farnborough, Hants. ÷ IF IT is vital to cut greenhouse emissions, why are we still watching floodlit sport? And what is the carbon footprint of rock festivals, drawing thousands by car? BRIAN MELIOT, Welling, Kent. ÷ HENRY DEEDES’S suggestion (Mail) that honey and lemon should be mixed with ‘good malt whisky’ would have appalled two people. Denis Thatcher and his drinking chum . . . a chap by the name of Bill Deedes. STEPHEN TONG, Pudsey, Leeds. ÷ THE Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite brands seem to be going bust one by one. Perhaps her patronage is not all it’s cracked up to be. PAUL CHARLES COOK, Huddersfield, W. Yorks.
