Re your letters on art, or the question of what is art (19 March), I am reminded of two gallery visits. In one, a friend and I were looking at an “installation” in the foyer, involving canvas and a brush and pan, to discover they were workmen’s tools awaiting some repair work. In another gallery, in a large bare room with a stepladder at one end, my husband asked when the exhibition would be put up, only to be told that this was it.

Regarding the Wordsearch in Friday’s paper (14 March), did no one else notice “colors”? Has the Guardian been Trumped?

My thanks to Frances Ryan (These cruel benefit cuts will rob security from so many – but Labour will lose something crucial too, 19 March) and to Jon Davis for his devastatingly relevant cartoon (19 March) – they have convinced me that it’s time to leave the Labour party after an unbroken 61 years of membership.

Prof Alexie Leauthaud-Harnett need not look too far to understand the weakening of dark matter (Report, 19 March): God has seen the state of modern politics, read the “open consultation” on the evisceration of personal independence payment by a Labour government, and given up.

We thought Labour’s election slogan, “Change”, meant change for the better. How wrong we were.
