I nearly choked on my tofu when I saw Matt Hancock’s laughing face on your front page (‘Unsettlingly Victorian’ – Matt Hancock arrives on I’m a Celebrity for a public flogging, 9 November). Why give him this publicity? Could you instead have a photo of one of many thousands of public service workers committed to doing their jobs, not skiving off on a self-promotional jolly? Perhaps a low-paid teaching assistant supporting children with dyslexia, whose job is threatened by government cuts?
