SIR – Liz Truss, who claims to have been “brought down by the Left-wing economic establishment”, was the first prime minister in decades to hold genuinely Conservative views.
SIR – I was saddened but not surprised to read that the Civil Service has asked its employees to hold “festive celebrations” rather than the age-old tradition of a Christmas party (report, December 11).
SIR – It would be wonderful if the candidates to be the next Conservative leader and prime minister could get together round a table and agree not to trash each other, the party or the country during their campaigns.
