In your report on Jeremy Corbyn’s latest pronouncements (Corbyn confirms Brexit would go ahead, 22 December) you note his distinctly Eurosceptic approach. He says “if you want to regenerate an economy … then I don’t want to be told by someone else that we can’t use state aid”. But he and your reporter should both know that the EU does not seek to prevent state aid for regeneration. John BoldLondon• Jeremy Corbyn is right to say that Brexit would proceed if Labour won a snap election. Michael BathRochester, Kent• I am a long-term Labour party member and have voted and campaigned for Labour all my adult life.
