Brexit a mess of Tories’ making

Sir, - Your correspondent Martin Redfern, (May 8) is right about one thing: the 27 members of the EU will dictate tough Brexit terms to Theresa May, and why should they not? The Tories foisted an unnecessary referendum upon us. Mrs May was against leaving, and now is making a very poor job of the pre-negotiations by claiming the nasty foreigners are ganging up on her.

Scotland voted to Remain and will have to fight to stay in the EU.

The best way to do that is to vote SNP at every opportunity and Yes in the inevitable second referendum or face perpetual Tory rule.
