How to get the postal service back on track | Royal Mail

It was heartening to read that Royal Mail is cutting its carbon emissions by transferring mail from air to road (Royal Mail goes ahead with cuts to UK flights despite takeover, 7 July).

It’s great that the Guardian cartoonist Ben Jennings has created his own version of Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress (‘It’s like Where’s Wally in broken Britain’: Ben Jennings on his Tory-era take on A Rake’s Progress, 9 July).
