Letter: Standards of lawyers, editors and Cabinet ministers
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: David Mellor's query as to whether or not the Prime Minister or the editor of the Daily Mail decides who's who in the British Cabinet ('Tory backbench group may call for Mellor to go', 24 September) is a real poser. There are some, I would suggest, nave enough to ask a similar question that has remained largely unanswered from earlier this year. Are the likes of Sir David English and his organ in any way responsible for deciding which party administers British government?
I think that members of the present Government should, one and all, be very grateful to our tabloid editors.
Yours faithfully,
