Sir, – Keir Starmer’s charisma deficit should not act as an impediment to him becoming one of Britain’s most accomplished and transformational prime ministers.

With Labour’s landslide victory representing a paradigm shift in British politics, conditions are now ripe for the very astute Mr Starmer to change fundamentally the whole nature of how the United Kingdom’s domestic and foreign policy is formulated.

When he goes about implementing these radical changes,he can do so safe in in the knowledge that he can hasten slowly because Labour is going to be in power for some quite considerable time to come. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – The result of the UK election has seen careers ended. The people I fear for most out of this are the comedians who now have no Tory party leadership to poke fun at.

They might have to resort to actually being funny, which I fear they may have lost the ability to do. – Yours, etc,
