The letter was signed by a wide array of public figures, including Guardian editor Katharine Viner, Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, comedians Joe Lycett and Josie Long, Tory MP David Davis, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, shadow solicitor general Andy Slaughter and National Union of Journalists general secretary Michelle Stanistreet."
