When I had oesophageal cancer, you were kind enough to publish my letter (29 May 2022) about naming my tumour Boris, as an unwelcome growth that needed to be eliminated. Well, I won that one, but now the gods have decided to bestow prostate cancer upon me. My shortlist of names this time around is Donald, Elon, Vladimir and Nigel. Any better ideas?

On Monday, Keir Starmer mixed his metaphors, talking of grasping the nettle on the economy and fixing the foundations. I hope he can manage to do so and isn’t just talking through his hat about a bee in his bonnet. After all, there’s more than one way to be stung.
