With universal credit universally discredited (Opinion, 5 July), but a government unable and unwilling to address the real injustices, the only hope of change will come if Amelia Gentleman is given the time and space to put the human face to the disaster already happening in parts of the country, and about to be inflicted on other areas. We need Amelia’s dogged persistence in uncovering the truth and full horror; only then maybe this government will be shamed into action.

• Given all politicians advertently mislead the electorate so as to gain votes (McVey faces clamour to quit after misleading parliament, 5 July) should we “clamour” for the lot to “quit”? Probably a bit hot for that.
