There is only one way that parliament could be reformed and that would be to consign the current building to history by making it into a wonderful museum and not wasting money on trying to make it into a modern working environment. Design a beautiful piece of architecture that is fit for purpose and encourages proper debate and efficient working practices (just take a look at the Scottish parliament building) and maybe our MPs will then drag themselves into today’s world.

How can we trust a premier such as the British Virgin Islands’ Andrew Fahie if he needs a calculator to work out 10% of $7.8m (‘Head coach wants to play’: the US drug sting that led to BVI premier’s arrest, 29 April)?

Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipe for allium tuna bake (30 April) broke new ground for me. Not only had I heard of all the ingredients but I actually had them in stock. The temptation was too great so I made it for Saturday lunch and it was delicious. I hope this is part of a new trend.

Re backhanded compliments (Letters, 28 April), as proud first-time parents we welcomed a second visit from the local vicar. “What an improvement,” he said when he saw her.

To all you “audio” Wordle buffs (Letters, 29 April), I have only one word to say to you: “Adieu!”
