Was Boris Johnson finally appearing at a rally a masterstroke? No, evidence that Tory strategists really don’t get it (The politics sketch, 2 July). His behaviour has influenced more electors than a slew of debates or a pile of manifestos.

John O’Farrell (Opinion, 3 July) is right to urge us to be optimistic that we will see the Tories get what they deserve in this election. I’ve been looking forward to SchadenFriday.
