Madam,

L J Jenkins strongly suggests that the Welsh Assembly follows the example of the Scottish parliament and debates the economic impact of Brexit upon the Welsh economy (‘Time Welsh Assembly had debate on impact of Brexit’, letters, 30 May).

Demanding Brexit economic transparency from Westminster is like pulling teeth and yet, ironically, our bloated House of Lords claims to have had such detailed discussions, in an attempt to demonstrate they deserve their daily allowance of £305, plus travel expenses.

British political debate is far too often an attack upon the person rather than the policy, an effective tactic to avoid transparency and meaningful discussion that might reveal to the British people how their financial interests are affected by Brexit. One rule for the Lords, another for the general public.

However, we are not only treated like mushrooms with regard to economic impact, we are also totally denied any discussion about how social media corrupted the referendum vote. Over a billion, targeted, text messages were sent to potential supporters of Brexit by Vote Leave, an organisation that ran circles around digitally outdated electoral law, particularly funding limits. The content of those text messages were something like that red bus, questionable.

It can be argued we entered Brexit on a lie, and that we leave Europe being effectively lied to by virtue of denial of information. Hidden agendas scream from every direction and Trump, Putin, and numerous European fascist groups are all applauding our exit. I believe it is time for a rethink.

Yours etc, Roger Louvet, Porthmadog.
