I am already bored by Keir Starmer’s overly verbose pronouncements. Might I suggest that Labour adopts a simple slogan and image combo that we can all get behind – a cartoon of Rishi Sunak with the words: “Get Him Out to Help Out”. Julian Jordon Broughton-in-Furness, Cumbria Isabella Stone said she was already fed up with the election campaign at 6.30pm on Wednesday (Letters, 23 May). It’s 2.15pm on Friday. Can I be the first to go on record as being very interested in the election campaign, including the Guardian’s coverage? David Halpin Wetherby, West Yorkshire I can understand why Rishi Sunak did not shelter under an umbrella when announcing the election date. Many moons ago, the England football manager Steve McClaren did an interview holding an umbrella. He was known ever after as “the wally with the brolly”. Bob Hely Broseley, Shropshire Can anyone explain what, where, when or who is the square one that Rishi Sunak accuses Labour of continuously going back to? Bob Davey Sheffield Perhaps a daily tally of air miles or carbon footprints of the main candidates could be published – a Hot Air Index – to help voters decide? Jude Carr London Re what a populist is (22 May), may I suggest “a loudmouth with a following”? Tony Turner Stevenage, Hertfordshire We should all spare a thought for John Crace. If Labour wins, I suspect he will have much less promising material to work with. Graeme Frost London
