YP Letters: Parties should put aside differences to fight for best Brexit deal

I WAS sad to see that your Editorial stated that Theresa May was calling for cross party collaboration on Brexit only because she wanted to continue being PM (The Yorkshire Post, July 10).

Surely we can give her credit for having learnt her lesson after the disastrous election results for her party? Shouldn’t all parties work together to get the best deal for the UK? After all, the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Australia have already stated that they want good trade deals with us when we leave the UK.

Please don’t fall in with the doom and gloom Remoaners and the Labour, Green and SNP parties who will soon be blaming Mrs May if it rains. The EU are already threatening us with a dire outcome. They must be a little scared. We should capitalise on this.

IF, God forbid, Labour is ever elected to power, young people’s darling Jeremy Corbyn will be dumped like a pair of old carpet slippers and the real hard men will come out of the shadows to wreak havoc and damage this country for generations to come.

Corbyn is simply a puppet. It’s the people pulling his strings you want to worry about.

From: J Hutchinson, Kirbymoorside, York.

WITH all the hate-filled rhetoric about ‘them and us’ that we hear from Jeremy Corbyn, is it surprising that Conservative candidates are being abused while going about their lawful business? Words are very powerful tools and should be used with caution, especially at this time of great uncertainty.

From: J Penn, Hedon, Hull.

WE keep getting told by the Tories and the media that the Labour Party has caused all our problems while in government. Apart from so-called New Labour which came into power in 1997, we have not had a proper Labour Party since 1979 when the Tories, blessed with Thatcher, took over and returned Britain to rampant capitalism which unfortunately we are still suffering with today.

From: Arthur Quarmby, Mill Moor Road, Meltham,

AT this time of Brexit, politicians of all persuasions should surely ask themselves “which is the more important, party or country?” In wartime party politics are set aside for the duration as Britain seeks to defend its liberty, which is what we are seeking to do now.
