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.Peter Kellner in "The Tory Report" (Review, 6 October) comments that "until 1977 pay differentials were gradually narrowing. Then, in the middle of the Wilson/Callaghan government they began to widen". I feel I should point out that though Labour remained in office from 1974 to 1979, Harold Wilson actually resigned in 1976. Thus, I think you do his memory a disservice by associating him with the policies of Callaghan that helped to bring about greater inequality.
