Straight to the POINT

■ AS A political commentator, Joe Lycett has the intellectual rigour of Basil Brush.

MOIRA McCORMICK, Bloxham, Oxon. ■ LET’S hope Liz likes the wallpaper at No 10.

NICHOLAS WARD, Orpington, Kent. ■ IT’S a good job Boris’s resignation speech outside No 10 failed to mention what he didn’t get done or he’d still be talking.

TERRY COATES, Birmingham. ■ BORIS described himself as a spent booster rocket. Houston, I think we have a problem

DAVID WOOTTON, Salisbury, Wilts. ■ PENSIONER Conservative Party members didn’t forget who cancelled the triple lock.

GRAHAM DYER, Chester. ■ THE ministers who stuck the knife into Boris have lost our respect along with their jobs.

VAHIDEH LLOYD, address supplied. ■ IT’S not surprising there haven’t been any female Labour leaders when Sir Keir Starmer can’t tell you what a biological woman is.

JIM BOWLES, Blandford Forum, Dorset. ■ THE most useful French phrase I learned at school (Letters), especially as I get older, was: ‘ Je ne me souviens plus ou je l’ai mise’ —I can’t remember where I put it!

CYD HARRISON, Barnsley, S. Yorks. ■ MY MOST essential French phrase has proved to be: ‘ La bouteille, s’il vous plait.’ Unfortunately, not asking for more wine in a bistro, but much needed when in hospital with a broken leg.
