Letter: Labour props up elective dictatorship
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: As the Labour prime minister responsible for the "winter of discontent", Lord Callaghan ("Labour fooled by the Tories, Callaghan says", 19 December) should be the last person to advise Tony Blair on New Labour's future relationship with the trade unions.
If Labour gets defeated at the next general election, it will not be due to what the New Labour has or has not done, but because the Tories will, for the nth time, show the television footage of the "winter of discontent" and the unforgettable images of London streets littered with mountains of putrefying garbage and cemeteries with unburied bodies.
Thank you, Lord Callaghan, for your advice!
