SIR – Will the four “New Labour” MPs, Messrs Burnham, Cooper, Corbyn and Kendall, not to be confused with a firm of solicitors, whoever is elected, be beneficial to the party’s electability in the near future, or will they be compared to another quartet knows as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with their predictions of doom and despair.

Of course we mustn’t forget the Beatles Fab Four and their successes, although the song Yellow Submarine might not go down too well in view of the Trident issue!
