Like Jill Napier (Letters, 18 May), I was born here, have a similar history with regard to working and having a UK passport, and have noticeable European connections. So I’m wondering, should I write to the Home Office to assert my UK citizenship or wait until it sends me the EU settlement letter?

• The opposite of woke (‘Wokeness’: the trumped-up charge that silenced the Labour party, 19 May) is asleep. And that’s what the anti-woke brigade are – fast asleep and dreaming of a nonexistent past.

• In November 1956, having completed my national service in the Royal Air Force, I received a letter informing me that, due to the Suez crisis, I was about to be called back into service. I wrote to my MP, Sir Isaac Pitman, telling him that I refused to go to war on behalf of the Suez canal shareholders, only to be told that “I should do my duty”. The Guardian was the only national paper objecting to the proposed war. I have been a reader ever since.

• Interesting that the government wants to introduce voter ID (Editorial, 12 May) when it rejected the petition to make verified ID a requirement for opening a social media account, on the grounds that not everyone has photo ID.

• Surely other readers will be speculating on who will be leading this exciting development (Great British Railways plan aims to simplify privatised system, 19 May). Chris Grayling? Dido Harding?
