An apt warning to Rishi Sunak from a man for all seasons

Rishi Sunak and those seeking to override the supreme court (Opinion, 29 November) should ponder the words of Sir Thomas More in Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons: “This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast … and if you cut them down – and you’re just the man to do it – d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?”

• Could the baffling expression “one of the only” (‘The monarchy looks vulnerable’, 28 November) please be banned from the Guardian in favour of “one of the [insert number]”, or at least “one of the few”? I don’t much like “one of the earliest/first/last” etc either.
