Readers respond to the government’s latest Brexit announcement and resignationsYour editorial (Reality is dawning for the PM that leaving the EU is a self-harming,9 July) seems to overlook the number of people in Labour-held constituencies who also voted to leave, though probably for different reasons to Conservatives.

Many voted to leave as a sign of disenchantment with what they saw as government policies that disregarded their perceived local needs. At present I don’t see anything that has fundamentally changed to alter their justification for thinking that way.
