Your leader (19 July) rightly welcomes “the most open and exciting Women’s World Cup for a long time”. What a shame that neither the BBC nor ITV is providing a highlights programme each evening for those who are unable to watch every game live in the mornings. While there are various online offerings, podcasts and news articles, surely the tournament warrants a Match of the Day roundup? [See footnote].

• As your article points out (Explainer, 21 July), the 893 votes for the Green party made “the difference between Labour flipping the seat and the Tories holding on” in Uxbridge and South Ruislip. What an irony that Green voters are indirectly the cause of a possible delay to the extension of Ulez to outer London.

• Twitter’s new logo (Will Elon Musk’s X rebrand help Twitter soar to new heights?, 24 July) seems appropriate since Elon is often cross. Perhaps he could go even further and channel the movie The Great Dictator, where the symbol was two Xs. That would match his management style.

• For one ecstatic moment I could have sworn that your article was headlined “Benjamin Netanyahu fitted with peacemaker” (23 July). Wishful thinking.

• Is it an accident that the floating brick designed to house migrants off Portland looks like an H block prison (Steve Bell cartoon, 19 July)?

• Footnote added on 27 July 2023: In fact there is a Women’s World Cup highlights show every night on BBC Three (around 7pm) which is also available on iPlayer.
