I am already bored by Keir Starmer’s overly verbose pronouncements. Might I suggest that Labour adopts a simple slogan and image combo that we can all get behind – a cartoon of Rishi Sunak with the words: “Get Him Out to Help Out”.

• Isabella Stone said she was already fed up with the election campaign at 6.30pm on Wednesday (Letters, 23 May). It’s 2.15pm on Friday. Can I be the first to go on record as being very interested in the election campaign, including the Guardian’s coverage?

• I can understand why Rishi Sunak did not shelter under an umbrella when announcing the election date. Many moons ago, the England football manager Steve McClaren did an interview holding an umbrella. He was known ever after as “the wally with the brolly”.

• Can anyone explain what, where, when or who is the square one that Rishi Sunak accuses Labour of continuously going back to?

• Re what a populist is (22 May), may I suggest “a loudmouth with a following”?

• We should all spare a thought for John Crace. If Labour wins, I suspect he will have much less promising material to work with.
