SIR - I have voted Labour since I was 21, from about 1965. But now, I've witnessed what this government has done for the working man by scrapping the 10 pence tax rate and ruining my final salary pension. Worcester MP Mike Foster is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. They have made a total mess of this country and I hope I never see a Labour government in office again.
