Four weeks of three Ss | Joe Biden | Levelling up opera | Cranky policies for all ages | Faragist felines

While it may be too much to expect the Guardian not to mention the three Ss (Starmer, Sunak and Swift) during the next four weeks (Election diary: Rishi Sunak makes a French exit and Ed Davey wins hearts, 7 June), can you impose a moratorium on the photos that assault our sensibilities on a daily basis, of the party leaders visiting infant schools, doughnut factories, care homes and hospitals, and of the ubiquitous young lady prancing about in what looks like underwear?

Thank you for positioning the piece “Heroes of D-day would want US to stand up to aggression, says Biden” (8 June) on the same page of the print edition as a photo of grieving mothers in Gaza. President Biden’s hypocrisy could scarcely be more clearly spelled out.

Thank you for the centre spread on Glyndebourne (Love, laughs and lavish designs: The Merry Widow at Glyndebourne – photo essay, 7 June). In the interests of levelling up, when can we expect two full pages of free advertising for the excellent Opera North and Welsh National Opera, among others?

Rafael Behr says Rishi Sunak’s election pledges – national service, mortise locks on pensions, stamping out Mickey Mouse degrees – “sound cranky to anyone under 70” (Opinion, 5 June). I’m 71 and they sound cranky to me too.

“Most people thought their cats were Tories or lawless libertarians,” writes Emma Beddington (Are all cats Tories? I considered the politics of my pets – and they’re not pretty, 10 June). Surely not. To their core, they’re out-and-out Faragists.
