I don’t know which is the sadder comment about the BBC – the Trumpian misogynistic 3am tweet about prize-winning reporter Carole Cadwalladr coming from the host of one of the broadcaster’s most high-profile political shows, or that the female BBC journalists who have complained don’t want to be identified because of potential “repercussions” (Senior women at BBC complain to bosses over Neil’s ‘mad cat’ tweet, 17 November).

Gary Graham already plays rugby four or five miles north of the wall (at the Falcons’ ground at Kingston Park, Newcastle); Scotland starts about 50 miles further north.
