I am nearly 92, half-blind and not on Facebook, nor do I tweet or twitter and am not a member of the ruling class. But I want somehow to express my astonishment and delight that a senior politician (and a Tory at that!) should at last have spoken the truth about our relations with Saudi Arabia and other “puppeteers” of that region (Report, 9 December). Well done, Boris Johnson!

• “Post truth” looks like providing a fitting end to 2016. Boris Johnson gets a job by telling lies and may well lose it by telling the truth.

• As a Labour supporter for over 40 years, I don’t want Momentum or Jeremy Corbyn saved (Momentum is a beacon of hope, 7 December).

• When I voted to remain in the EU, it was not with the intention of allowing the food industry (Assurance needed for food industry workers, Letters, 9 December) to continue to exploit cheap, sorry, “highly flexible”, migrant labour.

• I find two Christmas presents never pall (Gaby Hinsliff, 9 December): red wine, which I can consume large quantities of; and novels which I can give to charity shops after reading. Keeps Christmas simple; note to friends and family.

• Let’s not forget that Letchworth (Letters, 7 December) is home to the UK’s first roundabout. Where would Milton Keynes have been without it?

• Peter Vaughan’s obituary (7 December) didn’t mention he was Rab C Nesbitt’s father-in-law.
