Nice of unelected EU panjandrum and Brexit obstructionist Donald Tusk to call for the UK to revoke the decision to leave the EU (Tusk calls for UK to abandon Brexit as he says May’s defeat means deal looks ‘impossible’, 16 January).

• Was Wednesday’s Guardian sponsored by the RSPB? There were pictures of capercaillie and goldfinch in G2, black-headed gulls in the Journal and bittern, bearded tits and greater flamingo in the main paper. Missing were the vultures surrounding Mrs May and the albatross round her neck.

• If Mrs May survives the vote of confidence, Brexiteers will prop her up like Brezhnev’s corpse until she’s of no further use to them, when they’ll dispose of her, embalmed in the House of Lords, job done and the UK cast adrift into uncharted waters.
