Bring on Rob Brydon for the BBC leaders’ debate

Having given up after 10 minutes of the ITV leaders’ debate because of the ridiculous format and lack of control by the moderator, I suggest that the second one, fortunately given to the BBC, adopts one of its existing formats. That, obviously, is Would I Lie to You? The moderator (Rob Brydon if available) should ask the audience after every answer “Is he telling the truth? Or is it a lie?” There might even be a “This is my…” round to consider the motives of selected donors. I’d watch that.

• My husband and I enjoy our retirement, walking the two miles to Waitrose daily to buy the Guardian (Letters, 2 June), enjoy a delicious free latte and walk back home to spend the rest of the morning arguing over opinions expressed in the paper. What’s not to like – good exercise, interesting views and a free hot drink. Thank you, Waitrose and the Guardian.

• Glad to see that irony thrives at the Guardian, with a cover and two middle pages of the G2 section in the print edition (6 June) devoted to an article headlined “Is there any escaping Taylor Swift?”

• I am not aware of ever having heard Taylor Swift, nor do I know what she looks like. I am available to smash up looms for a small fee.

• I have two questions for all parliamentary candidates. How many swifts have you seen this year? What will your party do to bring back our flying insects?
