“Delivery, delivery, delivery” is the politics of online shopping (Keir Starmer may have just served up the worst political slogan of all time, 2 September). You order something you desperately want, take a leap of faith in the courier, the tracking information is baffling, the wrong parcel is delivered, your parcel is thrown over the hedge a week later, it’s damaged and unrecognisable; you lack the will to re-order.

What infuriates me most about energy drinks (‘No place in children’s hands’: under-16s in England to be banned from buying energy drinks, 2 September) is that the beverages never seem to give those who drink them sufficient energy to take their empty cans to the bin.
