Silent characters in The Archers are a tradition (Letters, 6 April). However, there are wider lacunae too. In 2019, the Aldridges had to sell their farmhouse and move to a small place after Brian was fined a substantial sum for polluting the Am. The property was brought by a Birmingham business family who had a noisy house-warming party. Since then we have heard absolutely nothing of them. Presumably non-doms.

• Could we speed up the processing of Ukrainian refugees by allowing them to come here as non-doms (Priti Patel apologises for low number of Ukraine refugees arriving in UK, 8 April)?

• Boris Johnson says “a lot of nonsense has been talked” about parties in Downing Street (Report, 8 April). I agree. The amount of rubbish spoken about “partygate” by Jacob Rees-Mogg and Johnson himself has been mind-boggling.

• In his new post of promoting Brexit opportunities, Jacob Rees-Mogg asked the public to send him ideas. Can I suggest he does a walkabout in Dover town centre with a full entourage of media support (As Britain learns to live with Covid, it faces a new pandemic of disruption, 9 April)?

• I see Russia has denied being responsible for the missile strike in Kramatorsk (Russia accused of ‘monstrous’ war crime in Kramatorsk station attack, 8 April). How long until it claims that it never invaded Ukraine and it was all just a western plot?
