Letter: What colour is Leo's hair?
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.I WAS immeasurably assisted in my understanding of the political impact of John Major's veto of the Belgian Prime Minister as president of the European Commission by the information that Andreas Papandreou, the Greek Prime Minister, has a blonde wife ('Major's stand built on sand', 26 June). Imagine my dismay therefore when I find no similarly crucial information on the hair colour of Margaret Beckett's husband in an article on her Labour Party leadership campaign. Without this how can I be expected to be fully informed? We readers should not be treated like this.
