Donald Trump says “We won’t want another Neville Chamberlain” (Trump uses Neville Chamberlain jibe to mock Starmer over stance on Iran, 6 April) – ie someone who does not stand up to tyrannical regimes and tries to appease them. Well, Donald, I am sure you are pleased that, so far, that is not happening in the UK, where our prime minister does seem to be standing up to such regimes by refusing to back the US-Israel attacks on Iran.

• The Guardian’s obituary pages invariably reveal fascinating details of the lives of both the well known and the less well known. The obituary of the architect Desmond Williams (30 March) was no exception as I learned that one of his contemporaries at the University of Manchester School of Architecture was Donald Buttress, the surveyor of the fabric of Westminster Abbey. As fine an example of nominative determinism as you could wish for.
