| We don’t need a “take-it-or-leave-it” parliamentary vote on whatever David Davis et al manage to cobble together (Tory rebels not convinced by Brexit U-turn, 14 November). We need a binding assurance that, unless a suitable deal is in place by the deadline, agreed by both parliament and the EU, then the Brexit process will be terminated. Hold their feet to the fire and take back control of the process.Andy SmithKingston upon Thames, Surrey | We don’t need a “take-it-or-leave-it” parliamentary vote on whatever David Davis et al manage to cobble together (Tory rebels not convinced by Brexit U-turn, 14 November).

| • The take-it-or-leave-it vote on the final Brexit deal is a trap. If the final deal is bad, but marginally better than no deal, parliament will have no option but to vote for it.Nick FloyerLondon | • The take-it-or-leave-it vote on the final Brexit deal is a trap.

| • The Brexit referendum released a demon that has been wreaking havoc: paralysing government, undermining the pound, disrupting financial business, stalling investment, discouraging much-needed foreign labour and inciting racial tension. Theresa May’s administration has proved unequal to the task of managing withdrawal from the EU. It’s time to put the Brexit genie back in the bottle. It’s time for the 48%-plus to say enough is enough.Michael ListerManchester | • The Brexit referendum released a demon that has been wreaking havoc: paralysing government, undermining the pound, disrupting financial business, stalling investment, discouraging much-needed foreign labour and inciting racial tension.

| • Richard Bull (Letters, 13 November) says there are 10 non-EU countries sharing conterminous borders with EU members. By my count there are 20 with land borders of varying hardness/softness: Norway, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City, Monaco, Andorra, Morocco, Brazil and Suriname.

| • For the first and perhaps only time, I agree with John Redwood (Report, 14 November). Avoiding shares in UK companies became a necessity as soon as the result of the referendum was announced. Nothing has happened since to prompt a change of mind. (And, no, it’s not about patriotism but financial management.)Nicolas AdderleyLondon | • For the first and perhaps only time, I agree with John Redwood (Report, 14 November).
