The JD Vance effect on Hungarian voters | Brief letters

JD Vance should “go to the back of the queue”, if he thought endorsing Viktor Orbán would have a positive impact (Hungarian opposition ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power, 12 April). This approach a decade ago rebounded on President Obama just before the Brexit referendum: too many British voters resented his message, even if he was soon proved right.

Having seen the result of the Hungarian election, perhaps we could invite JD Vance to interfere in our next general election by speaking in support of Nigel Farage.

Here’s hoping the shine doesn’t come off Péter Magyar’s landslide victory in Hungary as quickly as it came off Keir Starmer’s in the UK.

Like Susan Treagus (Letters, 10 April), I selected from my wife’s possessions what I wanted to keep and eventually cleared the rest. A few days before the first wedding anniversary without her, an old wedding anniversary card she had written turned up. Now that’s one I’ll always keep and treasure.

So these astronauts on the Artemis II mission went to the moon (Report, 11 April)? In the same way that if I drove round the M25, I’d have gone to London?

Having children may not make people happier (Am I a happier person for having a child? It’s the wrong question to ask, 12 April), but having grandchildren certainly does. Play the long game!
