Rupert Murdoch doesn’t have to beg for favours (I never claimed Downing Street does what I say, Letters, 20 December). Every prime minister since Thatcher has made it their business to anticipate Murdoch’s every whim. They never forget it’s the Sun wot won it.

• Nice to see that the Guardian has learned an important lesson from the Sun newspaper. If a prominent figure like Rupert Murdoch has a correction to make, then print it in an unobtrusive place like the bottom corner of the letters page.

• Whether nor the poppy is a political symbol (FA to appeal after Fifa impose £35,000 fine over poppies, 20 December), Fifa’s actions would be more consistent if they also fined FAs for the political and religious symbols and songs paraded and sung before every match.

• It’s been a difficult few weeks as a follower of England cricket (Sport, 20 December). One thing has, thankfully, as ever, been reliable: the excellent reporting of Vic Marks. Please keep selecting him.

• After reading the Guardian every day for the last six months, I am now in the middle of a brexistential crisis.
