Jonathan Freedland’s timely reality check (The lesson of this ordeal? The EU is a club worth belonging to, 6 April) should be recast in 72 point and pinned up in every ERG member’s office, but of course it won’t be. It will be dismissed as “leftist”, as Jacob Rees-Mogg termed the BBC when his tinpot theories were questioned on the Today programme last week.

• Isn’t it time that May and Corbyn thought in line with that phrase “you can’t please all of the people all of the time”. If Brexit had been treated as a new national project, the government would have gone out to consultation. It would have had discussions with all parties and quickly realised that it is impossible to do, because you can’t even please some of the people some of the time.

• The government’s proposed review of divorce law (Report, 9 April) would bring in a minimum timeframe of six months from petition stage to decree absolute to give a “meaningful period of reflection” and the “opportunity to turn back”. Could we apply the same logic to a second referendum?

• My partner and I are looking for a couple with Irish passports. We would all divorce each other, then remarry, so we all have rights to Irish passports, thence the EU.

• Thank you for the excellent front-page portrayal of my feelings about our nation’s political shenanigans, in the shape of The Scream (9 April).
