The time for Theresa May to urge parties to put their differences aside was when she emerged from a needless general election without a majority (Theresa May urges MPs to back Brexit deal, 1 January). Instead she chose to lob a large bung in the direction of the DUP and press on regardless.

• I greatly enjoyed reading about the rediscovery of an enormous ice store to the south of London’s Regent’s Park (Site works reveal hidden 18th-century ice store, 29 December). However, if the writer believes that the history of the ice trade with Norway has been in any way “lost”, he should pay a visit to the London Canal Museum, just down the road in King’s Cross, where the history is fully articulated. While there, he can also view the two enormous ice wells that exist beneath the museum’s ground floor.John RobinsonLondon• I greatly enjoyed reading about the rediscovery of an enormous ice store to the south of London’s Regent’s Park (Site works reveal hidden 18th-century ice store, 29 December).
