I appreciate your money-saving tips, but shudder at the thought of people having to put up with neighbours watching TV in their garden (Indoor outdoor: save money with products that work in home and garden, 1 May). Not all viewers would be considerate enough to wear headphones. Goodbye to peace, hello to yet another cause for disputes and poor health. For now, I’m enjoying listening to the birds and the children. Much better.

• You report (30 April) that a new artificial intelligence tool “could speed up diagnosis [of cancer] and fast-track patients to treatment”. If only we had the doctors and hospitals to fast-track these patients to. Years of underfunding will ensure that this breakthrough will only help private hospitals provide cheaper treatment.

• Liz Truss is being asked to repay £12,000 as part of the cost of entertaining guests at her grace-and-favour residence (Report, 30 April). As a taxpayer, could I suggest that we let her off the £12,000 – on condition that she repays the £30bn she owes us after her “mini-budget” last September?
