SIR — Boris Johnson? Foreign Secretary? And everyone said she had no sense of humour.

Please tell me someone was filming Mr Juncker when he found out.

SIR — I note that Boris Johnson wrote a biography of Winston Churchill, perhaps seeking to draw parallels with his own political career.

May I suggest that, given recent events, his next subject might be The Grand Old Duke of York.

SIR — I am reading Charles Dickens’ unfinished last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and I came across a passage describing the unintentionally droll Mr Grewgious, guardian to Rosa Bud. The description is a dead ringer for someone currently in public life:

“He had a scanty flat crop of hair, in colour and consistency like some very mangy yellow fur tippet; it was so unlike hair, that it must have been a wig, but for the stupendous improbability of anybody’s voluntarily sporting such a head.”

P.B.
