Stop tunnel sale

THE UK government has announced it is selling the stake we own in Eurotunnel to a private buyer. Why aren’t these shares being offered to the public as for the Post ­Office? We subsidised Eurotunnel for decades. Is it fair to sell it without us having a chance to buy it back for ourselves?

Prime Minister David Cameron did not win an overall majority five years ago. So why does he think he has a mandate to take this irrevocable step in the dying days of this coalition government?
