Jane Dent calls out Labour’s hypocrisy about the party. Plus a letter from Tom Parkin

Re the letters on the Liberal Democrats losing their way (Letters, 1 May), all I can say is that life is more complicated than the dogma that some espoused. All parties make mistakes and the Lib Dems have not been immune. But please excuse me while I reach for the smelling salts after reading the hypocrisy of the words and actions of Labour and its acolytes. The Lib Dems have been shouting from the rooftops about Brexit, but mealy-mouthed Labour didn’t support our attempts to correct the disaster that has befallen Britain in its wake. Now it has also rejected the youth mobility scheme between the EU and the UK.
