Your report (UK to cut climate finance to poor countries by a fifth despite promising more help, 5 February) about the government slashing climate finance is yet another betrayal of the world’s most vulnerable people. They are paying – in some cases with their lives – for a crisis they did not create. Climate change doesn’t respect borders, and the UK government’s responsibility to act doesn’t stop at its own. This is short-sighted, dangerous and must be reversed to protect people and the planet.

If more than 60% of Europeans are ready to forsake ties with the US under Donald Trump (Opposition to US has hardened in western Europe after Greenland threat, poll finds, 6 February), they could express their antipathy by not going there for the World Cup this summer.

After reading several pages about Epstein and his associates in your print edition of 4 February, I came across a stage review of Men Behaving Badly. How much more can we take?

I feel I must defend myself against Judith Flanders’s incorrect interpretation of my motives for objecting to “reached out” (Letters, 5 February). Being a grumpy, pedantic old codger provides the motivation for many of my actions these days.

Blanket ban on duvet letters (Letters, 6 February)? Sounds like a cover-up.
