If the ERG, that party-within-a-party, had a scrap of integrity, its MPs would resign their seats and fight byelections, if necessary as independents (Report, 15 February). That would show the real level of support, or lack of it, they actually have among the public.

• Sadly, Laura Dodsworth and Linda Swift (Letters, 11 February) don’t seem to have heard of Judy Chicago and her wonderful “The Dinner Party” exhibition of the 1970s. This was an amazing collaborative achievement between the artist and an army of craftswomen celebrating 13 important women throughout history with depictions of their butterfly images/vulvas as china plates on a table.
