I READ with interest, and disgust, the letter signed by the MPs Wilson, McKinnell, Williams, Phillipson, Elliot and Turley (HAS, Nov 12).

There are 17 Labour MPs who are supposed to represent us in the wider County Durham – why are they there?

They are there to honour their constituents' wishes.

Durham voted by more than three to two to leave yet none of them have done the slightest thing to help Theresa May get a deal. They are all a complete waste of time. All they are interested in is their massive wages, perks to die for, golden pensions and the golden handshake when we finally get rid of them.

To this MPs I say if you cannot do your job because you dislike our verdict, why do you all not resign and let us have people who will do what we wish?

You take us for granted. Hopefully this letter will open people’s eyes to what you really are, and we get rid of the lot of you at the first chance we get.

Joseph Mulroy, High Coniscliffe.
