While Caroline Lucas has been an effective and radical MP, I applaud her decision to spend more time doing politics by stepping down from the position (Report, 8 June). While what happens in parliament matters, the most effective movements for change in recent times – from Black Lives Matter to climate protests – have come from outside of Westminster.

• I have never set foot in a Greggs or a Pret a Manger (Greggs and Pret index reveals England’s true north-south divide, say scientists, 7 June). I do not like sausage rolls and spat out my one and only ever (wrapless) slice of avocado. I am a Midlander, and wish to remain so.
