Letter: Government under fire: calls for coalitions, resignations and public demonstrations
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: What has become of us all? The Government is in crisis and behaves like a rabbit hypnotised by a snake. We cry for effective government leadership.
Unlock the money from council house sales and unlock the skills of construction and management workers to build houses and hospitals direly needed. Direct the recently privatised power industry - by emergency regulation if necessary - to stop the rush to gas. Fund clean coal production instead; unlock the wealth in those huge stockpiles of coal now at no cost.
Subsidise coal still in the ground by unlocking funds 'invested in' expensive and obsolete nuclear power.
I am an OAP, not a wealthy minister in a large country house, nor a wealthy barrister turned politician, nor a merchant banker, but if the national pump needs funds for repriming for a New Deal - who remembers FDR in the Thirties? - I for one am ready to ante up my two penny-worth.
