Sir, – The Green Party is able to be gracious in victory and defeat. Others could take a lesson.
Regina Doherty, newly elected MEP, would have won her seat without making any criticism of her Green Party colleagues. Her assessment that the party is “autocratic” has no basis in fact.
Her likening of cycle lanes with the east/west divide in cold war Berlin was merely inane. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – The drudgery of having to traipse backwards and forwards across town to the new-fangled deposit return machine to retrieve my “deposit”, passing my convenient empty green recyclables bin on the way, seems a bit more bearable as I listen to reports that the Green Party has taken a significant electoral thumping. Perhaps they would be better served to focus on their own affairs rather than constantly intruding into the lives of others with superfluous contrivances. – Yours, etc,
