Child poverty | Royal coverage | Washing lines | Wordplay | International Women’s Day
Schools and their communities recognise the importance of nutrition in learning (One in five UK schools has set up a food bank in Covid crisis, survey suggests, 4 March). Teachers know that brain development before birth and in the early years is affected by diet. It’s not simply a question of being hungry, but needing fuel for the brain. Yet again children are having their life chances limited and their health undermined by the reluctance of our government to provide an adequate benefits system.

• I despair that even the Guardian is contributing to the feeding frenzy that is the alleged quarrel between sections of the Windsor family (Report, 5 March). Please limit your coverage of this matter to a Lucy Mangan review of the Oprah interview. That’s bound to make me laugh at least.
