John Crace asserts that Kemi Badenoch is “the worst leader of the Tory party in living memory” (Badenoch gives a borderline disgraceful performance at PMQs on Iran, 4 March). Really? Worse than Liz Truss?

A warm welcome to “Britain’s newest affordable towns” (Revealed: the new affordable commuter hotspots in Great Britain, 7 March). Could this replace the Fantasy house hunt series, please?

Perhaps it takes longer to learn dog owners’ names because they don’t so frequently have to be called to heel (Letters, 5 March). Maggie’s owner, whom I first met while dog walking on the sand dunes at least seven years ago, decided to introduce himself last week.

Emma Brockes reports that the most shoplifted chocolate in London is Ferrero Rocher (Digested week, 27 February). Must be those light-fingered ambassadors.

I too had a Belling bed warmer when I was young (Letters, 3 March), which I swapped for a husband. I have him still, although after 50 years, the heat output may not be what once it was.
