Sir, – I guess US vice-president JD Vance may have to re-evaluate his charisma and political sway in light of the elections in Hungary. On his recent trip there he urged voters to choose Viktor Orbán. To use his own words, he is apparently “very persuasive”.
Unfortunately he cannot read the room. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Your headline says that Orbán conceded defeat. Think again – it was actually victory he conceded. – Yours, etc,
