YP Letters: Is there any substance to Theresa May's promises over Brexit?

PRIME Minister Theresa May continually reiterates her statement that “We are coming out. We are no longer going to be a member of the EU” (The Yorkshire Post, January 9).

However, as yet, she hasn’t made a public statement on how she proposes to implement this in detail.

We are still waiting for the outcome on the recent claim brought to the court by Gina Miller to get Parliament to vote on whether or not the UK can start the process. Now Mrs May has switched her focus to the injustices of mental health. At this point, Mrs May looks like she is in danger of promising more than she can actually deliver.

From: Hilary Andrews, Leeds.

JUDGING by the letters in The Yorkshire Post, most of your readers are impatient with the way Theresa May is handling our exit from the EU. I feel she is right to take time to get it right.

Why should we reveal our strategy to the other EU member states? It would only give them time to counteract the suggested negotiation points. We need to get the very best deal while making sure that we retain the control of our laws and borders.

From: David Moore, Gargrave.

DON Wood attempts to conflate membership of the EU, with the gross (political) mismanagement of the railways (The Yorkshire Post, January 7). The privatisation which enabled all this was a result of Conservative ideology, as was the financial sector ‘Big Bang’ which also resulted in consequences that will take generations to overcome.

The problems with our railways are nothing at all to do with being a member of the EU, free markets mean they can be sold to anyone.

From: Les Arnott, Sheffield.

AS part of Brexit, the Government has a major opportunity to help British manufacturing to grow while, at the same time, reducing our import bills. Once again, permit large ‘Buy British’ stickers and notices on all goods sourced by retailers from the UK.

I would even suggest a TV advertising campaign explaining why – and how – this could give 
the nation a massive economic boost.

From: Peter Hyde, Driffield.

HARD Brexit, Soft Brexit, I fail to understand. We stop paying into the EU and they stop paying subsidies.
