| There seems to be some confusion as to who actually won the general election. Perhaps the most appropriate analogy would be that of a two-leg football match in which the Tories have secured a narrow victory, but Labour have scored a couple of away goals, making them favourites for victory in the return fixture later in the year. Perhaps the government should consider replacing Theresa May with Sam Allardyce to avoid relegation?Lou GeorgeKendal, Cumbria | There seems to be some confusion as to who actually won the general election.

| • I buy the Guardian for many reasons, but one of them is the delight of dipping into the pooled wisdom of the letters page. Saturday’s page was particularly good and shows Guardian readers are light years ahead of the politicians. One great political idea that is probably too good to ever be adopted in our polarised political system: a consensual, cross-party approach to Brexit negotiations. Thank you Dave Wakefield and David Graham. While the letter from headteacher Elisabeth Broers should be nailed to the door of 10 Downing Street.David Edwards Stockport, Greater Manchester | • I buy the Guardian for many reasons, but one of them is the delight of dipping into the pooled wisdom of the letters page.

| • Theresa May told nurses, teachers and police officers who hadn’t had a pay increase for seven years that there was no magic money tree. Will she give the same response to the DUP when they ask for a major financial package for Northern Ireland? Or are we about to witness the discovery of a new arboreal species?Martin FreedmanLondon | • Theresa May told nurses, teachers and police officers who hadn’t had a pay increase for seven years that there was no magic money tree.
