There’s a catch-22 to this St Andrews story

You report (1 August) that the university court at St Andrews justified its decision to dismiss the rector from two other roles because she had repeatedly declined to accept the conclusions of an independent report, thereby refusing to accept the conclusion of that report that to dismiss her would be disproportionate. Not catch-22, but from the same stable?

• Perhaps oddly, given where I live, I am no fan of Tottenham cake (sold in Greggs’ London shops). I do, however, frequent Greggs (Zoe Williams, 6 August). I enjoy its sausage breakfast baps, and – unlike some fast food chains – it is fully unionised. That definitely makes the food taste better.

• One other really good thing about Greggs is that it promotes Fairtrade in hot drinks and its orange juice. This does help dispel the assumption that Fairtrade is just extra virtue-signalling by those with deeper pockets.

• Sayeeda Warsi’s comment that Robert Jenrick “is such a tool” (Report, 7 August) is slightly erroneous, as tools are normally useful, whereas Jenrick is useless, as his time in government proved.
