Letter: Hypocrisy and dirty tricks shame Labour
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: The Labour Party's use of the Freedom of Information Act to dig for dirt on Michael Howard reaches new depths in the British political scene.
Mr Howard's career as Home Secretary is a matter of public record and only those with honourable intentions, which excludes campaigning politicians, should be allowed to delve into the Home Office archives on his ministry. If Labour are the inevitable winners of the election, as most suggest, one wonders why they would risk the shame of being exposed as grubby opportunists. One wonders not for long. There has always been immorality in politics but never so brazenly as under "New Labour". That and the Iraq war will be their legacy.
