Unpublished Letters to the Daily Telegraph

Ed. Kate Moore

The letter writers to the Daily Telegraph continue their tradition of offering shrewd and witty commentaries on current events. This instalment in the bestselling series reveals their thoughts on perennial topics such as the NHS; responses to events including King Charles’ coronation and the ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’ of a SpaceX rocket; and a query about whether a Minister for Levelling Up might fill potholes.

Product information
Full publisher description
In another surreal and unprecedented year in which even the most seasoned commentators have struggled to keep pace with the news cycle, letter writers to The Daily Telegraph have once again provided their refreshing and witty take on events.

Now in its fifteenth year, this new edition of the best-selling series is a review of the year made up of the wry and astute observations of the unpublished Telegraph letter writers.

Readers of the Telegraph Letters Page will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense of humour that characterise its correspondence - and this volume contains yet more pearls of insight.

With an agenda as enticing as ever, the fourteenth book in the bestselling Unpublished Letters series will prove, once again, that the Telegraph's readers still have a shrewd sense of what really matters.
