Where Britain belongs

Armando Iannucci says that those who voted Remain in the Brexit referendum should not be “standing on the sidelines gleefully pointing out how awful it is” (“Brief encounter,” December). But I don't gloat, I despair. Remainers, Leavers or the indifferent, we’re all suffering the consequences of the disaster.

I agree with Iannucci that it’s unlikely—in my lifetime at least—that we will rejoin the EU as a full member. But there is another option: rejoining the single market and customs union. Amid my despair at the continuing calamity, I have a glimmer of hope that will happen. And, rather than standing on the sidelines, it’s what we should be fighting for. Janet Burgess, Canterbury
