Poor performance

ONE in four children is living in poverty in Scotland – a sad reflection on Scottish society and the broken promises made by the SNP administration.

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said families are having to decide whether to eat or heat their homes.

Predictably, the SNP blame Westminster but they must be taken to account for their own failure to reduce poverty. Dennis Forbes Grattan, Aberdeen

Mad for Mogg

MOST working class families after World War II were staunchly Labour Party supporters.

Those days are long gone and there is the general attitude that it doesn’t matter who you vote for as all parties are the same.

Well, I have found the person who I will be voting for – Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg. I have yet to see him being beaten on any debate on TV. And at the Tory conference, he is the one they all want to listen to. John Connor, Dunfermline

Bad losers

I WAS disgusted by the behaviour of some of the golfers at the Ryder Cup who were like spoiled children when they got beat. Do they not know the meaning of humility and being gracious in defeat?

Their worst enemies are not their opponents but themselves. Matthew Mooney, Blantyre, Lanarkshire
