How to share a bed? Listen carfully to your partner
Somebody in this incompetent government failed to tell the Prince of Wales that this was not the time to visit Cuba (Photo, 26 March), which provides much of the security that maintains Venezuela’s dictatorial Maduro regime. This confirms my view that among those who aspire to rule Global Britain, no one has the least idea of a coherent diplomatic strategy towards Latin America.

• When I was a child in Oxford two roads were barred by the Cutteslowe Walls. These prevented the people in council houses walking to the main road past privately owned houses. They were demolished when I was 20. As I approach 80, I am ashamed to live in a country that stops poor children playing safely outdoors with their peers (Report, 26 March).
