Why no Beano about Corbyn’s peace award? | Letters

Jeremy Corbyn’s peace award | Corybn misprint | May on climate change | Whittle’s memorial jet | Pocket money | Coping with snow and ice

Last Friday, 8 December, Jeremy Corbyn was awarded the prestigious MacBride International Peace Prize in Geneva. Sean MacBride was the co-founder of Amnesty International. Not a single mainstream newspaper in the UK, including the Guardian, or the BBC or ITN, seems to have reported this. Is it imaginable that if the prize had been awarded to David Cameron as leader of the opposition when Blair was in office, it would not have been mentioned? Is the Guardian’s commitment to peace less strong than its fear that the leader of the opposition may become the next prime minister?Barbara Harriss-WhiteEmeritus professor of development studies, Oxford University

• I noticed with interest in your early edition (12 December) an article headlined “Corybn resists call to spell out Labour position on Brexit”. May I add “… and Grauniad resists call to spell Labour leader’s name correctly”.Terry CloughLeintwardine, Herefordshire
