Conversation starters: Comments from our readers

"Let me get this straight...the leader of the opposition campaigned to stay but secretly wanted to leave, so his party held a non-binding vote to shame him into resigning so someone else could lead the campaign to ignore the non-binding referendum which many now think was just angry people trying to shame politicians into seeing they'd done nothing to help them."
By David Tallboys on Brexiters at war as Boris Johnson pulls PM bid



"As a millennial I can say that most of my compatriots simply don't see the point. They see student debt, sky-high house prices, low wages, a terrible job market, and global instability and feel that their single vote is worthless. They feel that it doesn't matter what they do, the older generations outnumber us so completely that they will always rig the game against us."
