Creatures of the night are certainly being unleashed from Michael Howard's bat cave.

While the new Tory candidate for Hove, Nicholas Boles, has every right to comment on the work of our MPs (Letters, December 4), he might like to consider that they have lived and worked in our city for many years, unlike Mr Boles.

No doubt he will carry on spouting his hardline views in an attempt to get noticed but I think he is talking a load of old Boles.
