SIR – How sad that a conscientious, hard-working MP (and competent junior minister) like Mike Freer has been forced out by the mob (“Pro-Israeli Tory minister to quit after death threats”, report, February 1).
SIR – Much was made of “good faith” by the EU during Brexit negotiations.
Recently there have been reports of its officious customs staff rejecting export documents for ridiculous reasons and even of lorry drivers’ sandwiches being confiscated.
Now, in an attempt to draw attention away from its sclerotic vaccine procurement and approval process, the EU threatens to stop the export of vaccines from factories in continental Europe and demands that it be sent supplies produced in Britain.
The EU would do well to remember that good faith works both ways.

SIR – An EU bureaucrat has said that Britain should not think getting the vaccine is like going to the butcher’s shop. Do these bureaucrats decide they need some meat but stay in bed until midday, then rush to the butcher’s shop, push to the front of the queue and demand their meat immediately?
