Regarding your article about the young professional from Kabul having to sleep rough (‘I was told it’s normal’: Afghan refugee who worked for UK sleeping rough in London, 19 May), too many refugees are left homeless and destitute. Mohammad Seddeqi is welcome to stay in my home for as long as he needs. All those of us with spare rooms can help. Organisations like Refugees at Home and Room for Refugees always need new hosts.

• Liz Truss’s visit to Taiwan has rightly been criticised by Alicia Kearns, the chair of the UK foreign affairs select committee, as “the worst example of Instagram diplomacy” (Liz Truss in Taiwan calls for ‘economic Nato’ to challenge China, 17 May). But her behaviour also calls to mind the bellicose US secretary of state John Foster Dulles, who was said to be “the only bull who carries his own china shop around with him”.

• Why is Sir Jim Ratcliffe described as the “second wealthiest person in Britain” (Manchester United bidder Jim Ratcliffe up to second on UK rich list, 19 May)? In 2020, this pro-Brexit patriot changed his tax domicile to Monaco, a move that is estimated to save him billions in UK taxation. I imagine Britain rarely sees him.

• Re Martin Amis’s writing (Obituary, 20 May), it’s worth recalling that in at least two of his books, Money and London Fields, he was writing, dazzlingly and dangerously, about a changing UK that was starting its journey to where we are now. These books are about the UK in 2023.
