Letters: Darren Who?
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.YOU SAY that Susan Kramer "has been the only candidate" for London Mayor "to escape adverse publicity" ("The whole truth - until now", 21 November). The Green Party candidate, Darren Johnson, may have grounds for finding this statement defamatory, since he has for the most part escaped publicity of any kind. There is no prima facie justification for this neglect. His party and Susan Kramer's each gained one London MEP during the European election. Green issues, especially those relating to transport, will be at the centre of the coming contest. The most likely Conservative candidate has been an official spokesman of the road haulage lobby. The most likely Labour candidate is at odds with his own party over its proposed part-privatisation of the London Underground system. Perhaps it's time to look at what others have to say - and that doesn't just mean the Lib Dems.
