While not wishing to minimise in any way the continuing terrorist danger to this country, I will not be supporting the investigatory powers bill; the disproportionate amount of surveillance proposed, as well as the substantial intrusion into privacy, goes much too far in my view. If the measure becomes law, it will remain the subject of controversy and criticism.

• Your much trumpeted exclusive interview with George Clooney didn’t mention his ongoing promotion of Nestlé. According to Baby Milk Action, Nestlé continues to aggressively market baby foods around the world in breach of international standards, contributing to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants. When Clooney is asked about this he gets angry and defensive. Perhaps your interviewer didn’t want to upset the great philanthropist.
