Having received an email from John Crace inviting me to join him, Marina Hyde and Pippa Crerar for an evening event on Tuesday 3 December, I would just say that, much as I love John Crace, it’s obvious that he is a Spurs supporter, as he has picked the night that Arsenal are hosting Manchester United, so all good Guardian-reading Gooners like me will be attending that event instead.

• Rachel Reeves has announced plans to replace every painting in the state room at No 11 Downing Street with artworks of or by women (Report, 18 September). I think that Keir Starmer has a painting of a famous woman that he’d be happy to pass on.

• The clue to Tupperware’s bankruptcy is in the reference to a Tupperware container dating from circa 1966 showing no sign of wear (Letters, 20 September). The manufacturers failed to observe the first rule of successful capitalism – built-in obsolescence.

• In your print edition (19 September), the report about the capybara that escaped from a zoo said: “On Tuesday night, Cinnamon, who is about the size of a labrador, was seen using a thermal drone…” What a clever animal.
