I AM sorry that we shall read no more of Julian Cole’s columns.

Since I started reading The Press, he’s always managed a sensible take on the political scene, all too rare now in national papers that seem ever ready to push their proprietor’s pet obsessions.

Good luck in your future ventures, Julian.

I hope that we shall see your work once again in future.
