Jeremy Corbyn is calling for the BBC to publish equality data, including for social class, for all its creators of content (Report, 23 August). I’d be interested to see a similar breakdown of data for the “creators of content” working at the Guardian, and most notably a statistic of how many of these are state-school educated.

• As the UK will have to redesign the health warning on cigarette packets in the event of a no deal Brexit, I suggest a picture of Nigel Farage having a drag as an extreme but potentially effective image to discourage people from taking up this disgusting habit.

• This week I have been foraging (blackberry picking), wild swimming (having a swim in the sea) and forest bathing (taking a woodland walk). It’s interesting how ordinary experiences enjoyed by my wartime-generation mother become romantically repackaged and resold to millennials. My mother was an original “wild woman”.

• Has the Tate really digitised some 5,000 blank pages from Turner’s sketchbooks to make them viewable online, which seems to be the inference of a former Tate curator’s letter (23 August)? If so, why?

• As a Labour party member in the 1980s – back when it stood for the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange – I had a tabby cat that rejoiced in the name of Claws 4 (Letters, passim).
