Version 0 of 1.

Jeremy Corbyn advocates rent control and is accused of socialist interference with the free market. David Cameron (Report, Sport, 11 February) thinks “there is a problem here when some clubs put up prices very rapidly”. Good to know he believes football terraces are more important than terraced housing.Martin LuntChorley, Lancashire

• Chris King of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference protests that 99.7% of the independent schools sector work with state schools to expand opportunities for those state pupils (Letters, 9 February). Elsewhere he records that indie pupils dominate the most successful universities and careers. This partnership business doesn’t seem to be working then, does it? Perhaps Ofsted’s inspectors should descend mob-handed on Mr King’s project to find out why.David RedshawGravesend, Kent

• I realise that schools have become exam factories, but when did the teaching profession become an industry (Shortage as more teachers leave industry, 10 February)?Maggie ProctorNottingham

• When I practised law, a contract was a voluntary agreement between two or more parties (Jeremy Hunt to impose contract on junior doctors, 11 February, theguardian.com). If there is no agreement, there is no contract. Does this mean, therefore, that the health secretary will now be writing new law?Stuart WaterworthTavistock, Devon

• Even the Guardian calls Bernie Sanders a political misfit (America in thrall to pair of political misfits, 11 February). Disappointing.Lorrie MarchingtonWhaley Bridge, Derbyshire
