Why UK voters are impossible to satisfy | Brief letters
The neoliberalism problem | Trump’s hypocrisy | Spurred on | Social media and the over-80s | Beatles’ trademark challenge
Zoe Williams is right to question if voters can ever be satisfied (Are our prime ministers the problem – or is the UK ungovernable?, 27 April). The problem governments face is trying to make social promises of quality public services through an economic model that doesn’t work for the majority. Unless we can ditch neoliberalism, which rewards capital not labour, inequality will continue to frustrate voters and defeat governments.

• I was entertained by Donald Trump’s accusation that “so many people are incensed by [Jimmy] Kimmel’s despicable call to violence”, while Melania explained “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country” (Jimmy Kimmel defends Melania ‘widow’ joke after the Trumps call for him to be fired, 28 April). A case of the Potus calling the Kimmel black.
