• If you really want to “deliver a bloody nose to the Tories” (Letters, 2 July), you may just have to hold your own nose – as political groups are doing en masse in France to stop the National Rally winning.

• Warwick Hillman (Letters, 2 May) should not dismiss his local Labour candidate for calling Liz Truss “wreckless”. Surely dyslexic people can work as MPs, or in their offices?

• Sorry, Ian Cassidy (Letters, 2 July), but Gordon Brown seems to have stolen a march on Polly Toynbee with his “Let’s get our country back” piece (Opinion, 3 July). Let’s hope it’s not a jinx.

• On Tuesday Boris Johnson said Labour will be “the most leftwing government since the war”. Until then I had been undecided, but now I’ll definitely vote Labour.

• The song for Thursday (Letters, 2 July)? Kick Out the Tories by the Newtown Neurotics.

• Jeremy Hunt should do the decent thing and leave a note saying “Even less than no money left”.
