SIR – I was pleased to read that the Bank of England’s governor Mark Carney spoke of the new reality of Brexit. Policymakers on the Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously to cut rates to a new historic low. This committee also unveiled a package of measures worth up to £170 billion to boost the economy after the Brexit vote. He said that we have in taking these actions improved the economy outcomes for this country. There will be less unemployment, more activity and a greater prospect of a successful adjustment to the new reality that the UK faces.

PM May believes Brexit’s opportunities and challenges must be addressed to encourage the UK’s “entrepreneurial spirit”. She invited small and medium-sized business representatives to No. 10 to hear what what they want from the negotiations so that might take advantage of UK leaving the EU. She stressed the significant role that SME’s play in the economy and the need for them to help the country be “expansive and outward-looking”. She has appointed two Cabinet ministers in order to lead the strategy for leaving the EU. (Did someone say there is no plan?) Meanwhile those with time to waste who have being trying to hatch a plot to stage a re-run of the referendum have been rubbished by Worcestershire politicians and a YouGov poll revealed that 58 per cent do not support another referendum.
