Letter: Chancellor's act of 'good faith'
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: Diane Abbott and Robin Ramsay (Letters, 14 May) are themselves guilty of missing the point of giving the "Old Lady" her independence.
Mr Ramsay talks emotively of the sacrifice of British manufacturing in the interests of an inflation target. Manufacturers are eager for a low and sustainable level of inflation together with stable interest rates rather than large, mistimed swings in rates. Independence is a means to this end, something that is recognised by a very export-dependent German manufacturing sector.
In allowing independence, the Chancellor has recognised the Leninist principle that to destroy a liberal society you must allow the debasement of the currency and to protect it the value of the money must be stabilised.
Price and interest rate stability will remove uncertainty, increase investment, growth and jobs.
