I find it disturbing that this sex doll “had hair, a nose piercing and markings that resembled bruises and grazes” (A ‘body’ found in a suitcase was actually a sex doll. How did NSW police get it so wrong?, 12 August). I suppose it could be said that at least these injuries weren’t inflicted on a real woman, but what does it say about the (presumed) man who owned it – or the manufacturer that created it? “Creepy” is too mild a word for this .

Boris Johnson once hid in a fridge and now Donald Trump hides in an airline meals container (Report, 11 August). I wonder who will be the next head of government to seek refuge in something designed to store food?

I understand that I am too late to make a nomination for Invertebrate of the Year (Invertebrate of the year 2026: vote for your favourite, 12 August). But perhaps you will consider an honorable mention for Nigel Farage. He showed a distinct lack of backbone in his refusal to attend the announcement of the Clacton byelection result.

So Nigel Farage didn’t turn up for the declaration, but Count Binface did. Have they ever been seen in the same room at the same time?
