Letters – Rats and sinking ships spring to mind

May I, through your columns, congratulate Mr Jackson on supplying the best political joke of this year.

“Boris Johnson and David Davis had the courage of their convictions to put the national interest before their careers.”

Rats and sinking ships spring to mind.

If they and their spineless ilk had the faintest belief in the national interest we would not be in this mess.

Yours, in quiet despair,
