Why Keir Starmer owes voters a full apology over Brexit – Yorkshire Post Letters
IT was interesting to read the article by Austin Mitchell (The Yorkshire Post, June 3) taking Labour to task over its attitude to the Brexit result.

Labour’s poor performance in the last general election, Hartlepool by-election and local elections in recent weeks showed the disdain felt by many Brexit voters against their party.
Perhaps The Yorkshire Post could reissue the apology letter from Jon Trickett and get this countersigned by Keir Starmer and members of his Shadow Cabinet.
They should then combine, with the Government, in negotiating with the EU a proper deal to reflect our significant strengths so that we can work in harmony with our European neighbours.
From: Tom Doyle, Ilkley.
