Much though I, and I imagine most other Guardian readers, admire John Crace, his claim to be related to “the country’s worst ever prime minister” identified as David Cameron (3 February) appears to be misjudged. He overlooks the even stronger claim to that title of the present incumbent – or should that be recumbent?

Steven Bowditch
Mayor of Carlisle 2014-2015
• Can we have Carrie Gracie on the next £10 banknote please (BBC women take a stand, 1 February)?
