Straight to the POINT

AT LAST, karma for Starmer.

Stuart a. Challis, Chelmsford, Essex. CAPTAIN Hindsight should have had the foresight to realise his defence of an oversight would leave Labour in a bombsite.

JOHN PARTRIDGE, Maulden, Beds. SO ANGELA Rayner was at Beergate. Well, I suppose most of us have been at the sort of party where we can’t remember who else was there . . .

ALAN GOLDSBROUGH, Bridgnorth, Shropshire. AFTER Boris Becker was jailed for two and a half years, my wife asked: ‘How many months is that?’ I told her: ‘It’s 30, love.’

COLIN CROSS, leigh-on-Sea, Essex. IF GPs were paid every time they see each patient, they would be ringing us up.

R. J. CLARK, Cheltenham, Glos. IT’S sad to see banks closing, but I haven’t used one for years, thanks to the post office.

Jill COPlaND, Norwich. WHEN crime is rising and sentences are becoming more pathetic, I am amazed that bus lane fines are rising to £70. Is protecting the public of less interest than raising money from motorists’ infractions?

Derek Stocker, Bexhill-on-Sea, E. Sussex. I’D LIKE to express my gratitude for the quick police response to an incident outside my house last week. The officers who attended were a credit to the force and worthy ambassadors for the younger generation.

DENiS hErNON, Stockport, Gtr Manchester.
