Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I am happy to take up Mr Storr's challenge that I should tell him where, in the Institute of Director's scheme of things, concepts like teamwork and leadership by example are to be found (letter, 3 November).
Quite simply, they are to be found throughout British business, from the corner shop and the local hairdresser to boardrooms in which multi- million-pound deals are made.
Perhaps I could add that I am mystified by Mr Storr's assertion that my use of the football analogy totally destroys my argument that, in a "winner takes all culture", the pay of "stars" is pulling away from others. There is no doubt that the pay of Alan Shearer and his peers is in a different league (in more senses than one) from a third division goalie. And the inequalities are rising.
