Get on with it!
Parliament doesn’t want to leave, doesn’t want to stay, doesn’t want no deal and, just for good measure, rejects the only deal on the table!
While mPs can sit back comfortably with their generous pay and pension package, it is real people who are suffering as a result of Parliament’s inability or unwillingness to do as instructed by the electorate.
they should stop pandering to their own sense of self-importance and get on with the job. GARRY DUNNINGS,
Louth, Lincs. the fiasco of the indicative votes clearly indicates that no politician can be trusted with anything more complicated than a colouring book and some wax crayons. TREVOR COLLINS,
Grimsby, Lincs.
Desperate act Playing P party politics
Whether theresa may resigns or not, it is still the same deal. it seems to me that members of the Conservative Party have not been interested inn what’s best for the UK, but have been playing party politics for their own personal ambitions.
ROD EAST, Lymington, Hants. SO, nOW we know. Getting rid of the Prime minister is more important than brexit. Words fail me.
ALAN JACOBS, Biddenham, Beds. mrS may has proved herself to be totally incompetent in negotiating our exit from the eU. She has broken the party manifesto on brexit, does not listen to advice and has ignored grassroot feelings.
MALCOLM RICHMAN, Lytham St Annes, Lancs.
It’s not about sexism
i DiSaGree with Sarah Vine’s appraisal of theresa may. She was always a the wrong person for the TREVOR CORAM, Somerset. brexit job. it wasn’t the preening, pompous men who drove her out, it was her own incompetence and betrayal of the electorate.
in the real world, she would have been lucky to get a job in a packing department. the same goes for mPs on both sides of the house MAUD MAWDSLEY,
West End, Hants. i tOtally agree with Sarah Vine. What is fundamentally wrong with male mPs that they are so afraid of a woman? ELIZABETH BURKE, Greenford, Middlesex.
Enough is enough
mPS have continually voted down mrs may’s hard-fought deal yet, surprise, surprise, they have no idea what they want.
Parliament is divided into three camps: no Deal brexiteers, Soft brexiteers and remainers. add to this an intransigent eU, which is making the withdrawal process as difficult as possible. the only person that has made any concessions has been mrs may.
however, no matter what concessions she could possibly make would ever win complete agreement in Parliament. this week’s series of indicative votes proved that.
the people voted to leave the eU. the two main parties’ manifestos pledged to honour that vote.
the remainers admit the eU is a self- serving, failing institution, but say it is better to be inside and reform it. David Cameron begged for some insignificant tweaks, but came away with less.
let’s get out and perhaps the eU will finally realise that major reforms are urgently needed before other countries decide enough is enough.
M. R. GRIBBLE, Portishead, Bristol. Will the DUP be returning the money they were promised in return for backing theresa may?
R. WILLIAMS, Great Holland, Essex.
Parade of vanity
I FEEL heartily ashamed to be British as I watch the ongoing debacle in Parliament. MPs have made us the laughing stock of the world.
Shame on them for their contempt of democracy, which has been demonstrated by their ignoring not just the will of the majority who voted in the referendum, but in many cases by the betrayal of their constituents.
Their duty remains to take the UK out of the EU, and in so doing restore our sovereignty, protect our borders and secure our right to trade freely with the world.
The unedifying parade of vanities by the Speaker and MPs must end.
Dignity, respect, loyalty, order and responsibility to fulfil the will of the majority and uphold the highest standards of government must prevail.
Our exit from the EU be achieved with or without a deal in the best interests of Great Britain and its future. MARGUERITE BUTT, Lerryn, Cornwall.
Changing minds
JACOB REES-MOGG, please don’t apologise for changing your mind. You have every right to do so.
Indeed, it would be helpful for the future of this nation if you could also acknowledge the right of the people of this country to change their minds over the course of these chaotic three years. ANDY MORRELL,
Swansea. I USED to admire Jacob ReesMogg. He seemed to be an immaculately tailored, erudite, articulate man. A man of principle, and like traditional Tories of the past, a man not to be swayed.
I’m afraid he’s disappointed me and lots of other people by folding under pressure and sucking up to Theresa May. PAUL CHARLES COOK,
Huddersfield, W. Yorks.
Flip-flopping Boris
BORIS JOHNSON is surely as transparent as a plate glass window.
Mrs May says if MPs vote for her deal she will resign. Well I never, Boris immediately says that he is going to vote for her deal.
Heaven help us if this flipflopping man ever becomes leader. I, for one, who have voted Tory all my life, will never support them again. Mrs BOBBIE FARRELL,
Portishead, Somerset.
