I am pleased that Matt Hancock feels massively betrayed (Matt Hancock calls Isabel Oakeshott WhatsApp messages leak ‘massive betrayal’, 2 March). Now he knows how we all feel.

• Re Partygate (Boris Johnson in battle for political future amid fresh evidence he misled MPs, 3 March), perhaps Cincinnatus would now be kind enough to return to his plough.

• Has the government underestimated the huge number of people suffering fuel poverty and unable to claim the support of £400 from energy companies? I’ve been trying to help a friend register online at the new government portal, but it seems to be swamped by the demand. Even in the cold of the night.

• Even before the correspondence about Mark, Marks, Marx, Spencer and Spenser (Letters, 2 March), if anyone had asked me who were my favourite writers on cricket, I would have said (Vic) Marks and (Matthew) Engel. But no one ever asked.
Roger Bardell
Welwyn, Hertfordshire

• Alison White (Letters, 3 March) is being too kind. I’d pay good money to throw unboiled turnips at Hancock, Williamson and Johnson.
Shirley Browne
Dundee

• Try having the Irish first name Máiréad and combining it with the surname Jennette (Letters, 5 March). My wife does, daily.
James Jennette
Coventry
