Letter: Beef crisis: a despicable political ploy
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: If the Government succeeds, by petulance, in having the questionable ban on beef removed ("Major's EU work-to-rule puts us all in peril", 22 May), how then does it intend to generate the necessary orders to revitalise trade and secure the position of the industry?
All our future employment opportunities and our short-term economic security largely depend on the now threatened relationship between the UK and Europe.
I shall not readily forgive if my children's future is gambled against the re-election prospects of the Conservative Party via jingoistic xenophobia.
