Brexit was won on the basis of profoundly misleading promises, none of which the leave campaign had the authority to make, or even believed themselves. With the ensuing existential and constitutional crisis and the associated threat to the UK’s stability, unity and prosperity, the case for a judicial review is unarguable.

• Hooray! Mark Carney has been honest and admitted that there is a limit to what a central banker can do, finally catching up with JK Galbraith, who observed that people and institutions were either confident to spend, borrow or lend or they weren’t, regardless of where the interest rate was at any given moment (Bank warns of strain on economy as it prepares for rate cut, 1 July).

• The 1960s were built on a generational conflict and it would be a good thing if there was one today. The older generation should not be forgiven for what they have done and they won’t be from the conversations I have had with the young. Just because they wear jeans and listen to Led Zeppelin doesn’t make them liberal. Never trust anyone over 30.

• Timothy Garton Ash thinks we may become the Former United Kingdom or FUK (If you think Britain is angry and divided, look at the continent, July 1). Given the likely departure of all the home nations and the growing demands for increased Cornish devolution, I suggest we’re going to be the Former United Kingdom Comprising England with the Duchy of Cornwall – or FUKCED.
