| • On Lenin’s principle “worse is better”, the defenestration of Steve Bannon (Report, 19 August) is very bad news for those of us who oppose neoliberal/neo-fascist/authoritarian trends in politics, whereas the appointment of Jacob Rees-Mogg as Conservative leader (Letters, 19 August) would be an inspiration.Jeremy CushingExeter | • On Lenin’s principle “worse is better”, the defenestration of Steve Bannon (Report, 19 August) is very bad news for those of us who oppose neoliberal/neo-fascist/authoritarian trends in politics, whereas the appointment of Jacob Rees-Mogg as Conservative leader (Letters, 19 August) would be an inspiration.Jeremy CushingExeter |

| • Craig Wright’s letter about making tea abroad (19 August) reminds me of a conversation I had years ago with a dapper bartender in San Francisco.
