Straight to the POINT

÷ WHY is Corbyn euphoric? Like a football manager expecting to be beaten 7-0, but ‘only’ losing 1-0, he thinks he’s had a victory.

JIM ADAMSON, Cupar, Fife.

÷ RATHER than ‘doing a Theresa’ as a new term for missing an open goal (Letters), footballers could use this term for an own goal.

B. LOCKYER-SKINGSLEY, Leighton Buzzard, Beds.

÷ ONE good thing about the election: it pushed Nicola Sturgeon’s mute button.

DAVID STUCKEY, Stevenage, Herts.

÷ HAVING spent my life helping to raise other people’s children through my taxes, I feel entitled to worry about a fox (Letters).

MARGARET BRADSHAW, Wappenham, Northants.

÷ CONSERVATIVES offer realism combined with austerity while Labour are idealistic spendthrifts. Sounds like my financial philosophy as compared to my children’s.

DAVID BASSI, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset.

÷ THERESA MAY will find that EU membership is like the Hotel California: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

DAVID LEE, Emsworth, Hants.

÷ WHAT is the point of manifestos? Mrs May is tearing up hers, so does that mean Jeremy Corbyn would have torn up his, too?

BRIAN BEST, High Wycombe, Bucks.

÷ WE HAVE had Pippa on social etiquette, Pippa’s keep-fit routine, Pippa’s wedding, Pippa’s honeymoon and even how to get Pippa’s holiday glow. Have we had our fill of Pippa?

BARBARA BURT, Harold Park, Essex.
