Liz Stewart and I had to laugh at the picture of the shadow culture secretary speaking to the "poor voter", as Liz calls her (Opinion, June 2).

My laughter was for a different reason. I thought Mr Ainsworth had lifted the vase up so he could throw it to wake the lady up.

Isn't it good there a few of us can still see the humorous side of things? It takes a bit of doing.
