Letter: Redwood's passion
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: Let us be frank about the Mother of Parliaments. All the "heated exchanges", the "sharp questioning" the "test of mettle and men" - and even women - are a pantomime put on for the delectation of the media and the massaging of politicians' egos.
MPs do not attend the "worthy debates" because they are equally meaningless and far less fun. Cabinet decides, and Parliament is a rubber stamp.
It's time our politicians dropped the yah-boo-sucks approach and grew up.
