SIR – Ed Miliband is not bringing his party into disrepute as claimed by Joe McHugh (Letters, March 25).

He has simply become more skilled at causing David Cameron to lose his cool at PM’s Questions because the smug Tory leader can’t or won’t answer questions put to him.

And the Labour party doesn’t need a more suitable leader, as suggested by Mr McHugh, but the Tories might after the next election, for surely there are none so blind that cannot see after their three years in office our country is still on mark time.
