A Conservative ex-minister faces a string of allegations including 2,000 sexual texts to two young women that finally did for his ministerial career. Yet the parliamentary standards watchdog has cleared him of wrongdoing: it is “not persuaded that [the exchanges] caused significant damage to the reputation of the House of Commons” (Report, 9 September). Has its reputation really sunk that low?

• Really enjoyed Steve Morgan’s article (The Upside: In this English town, a bold plan to banish loneliness and misery is afoot, 11 September). Isolation and loneliness can be a real issue in rural areas compounded by physical isolation. At the Arthur Rank Centre we have produced a toolkit on our website to help churches address this issue in their communities.
