Am I the only person who isn’t remotely interested in the race or age of the new prime minister? All I care about is his competence.

• Rishi Sunak is teetotal, yet he has promised us IPA – integrity, professionalism and accountability (Report, 25 October). We could all drink to that.

• Why is a breach of the ministerial code a resignation matter last week, but no bar to appointment in the same post now (Outcry over Suella Braverman’s return as home secretary, 25 October)?

• Having read that Jacob Rees-Mogg resigned on St Crispin’s Day (Report, 25 October), I found out that St Crispin is the patron saint of cobblers. How appropriate.

• In view of the rapid turnover of prime ministers, would it not help the economy if they stopped commissioning personalised lecterns and were loaned a simple folding legilium instead (Strong and stable? Maybe, maybe not. What we can learn from No 10’s cavalcade of lecterns, 25 October)? You can get new ones for about £250.

• Has the Tory party turned the UK into Dr Who? The country constantly under threat from aliens, occasionally timeshifted to some historic glory, the lead character regenerating periodically. Boris Johnson must look on David Tennant with envy.
