Remain calm

Sir: I am sorry that the redoubtable Martha Lane Fox is still angry at the exaggerations made by the Leave campaign (Letters, 30 July). I expect that the 17 million people who voted to leave are also still pretty angry at the exaggerated claims of Remainers. House price crashes, everyone £4,500 a year worse off, a revenge budget and even a third world war. And of course, the threats from elite corporatists. Vested interests, perhaps? It’s interesting to see how many of the big corporations that  threatened Armageddon prior to the vote are now voting with their money to stay.

The investment adviser Tim Price says he has never felt so excited about the possibilities in front of him, and I am sure that there are countless budding young British entrepreneurs who feel the same way. Please cheer up, Martha. Moaning from Remainers is not going to help Britain to become even greater.
