• The new visa rules (Cleverly to announce salary threshold rise as part of new migration package, 4 December) show how little the UK government values family life. Looked at another way, the new £38,700 earnings threshold shows what care workers should be earning.

• You described Mark Francois as “ebullient” (Once more unto the breach: how Rwanda bill unleashed ‘Brexit battles all over again, 12 December). Conversely, Marina Hyde referred to “a clown called Mark Francois” (It’s the Rishi Sunak twilight zone: a Brexit battle reenactment that never ends, 12 December). I’m with Marina.

• How good to see my former GP, the wonderful Dr Audrey Boucher, writing about French healthcare (Letters, 13 December). In her surgery, she had a framed cartoon saying: “My doctor didn’t believe in pre-menstrual tension, so I shot him.” Thank you for your care, Dr Boucher. Enjoy your retirement.
