Letter: Scots parliament
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: Just what is the Independent thinking of? The final paragraph of today's leading article on the Monklands East by-election makes sorry reading.
You call for the Labour Party to avoid 'giving a Scottish parliament in Edinburgh entrenched powers'. This is an affront to the huge majority of the Scottish people who, in election after election, have voted overwhelmingly for candidates (Labour, Liberal and SNP) who offer just that.
What is it about a Scottish parliament that gets the London establishment in such a lather?
Yours regretfully,
GEORGE ROSIE
