Letter: Who will champion the lost leader?
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: On 22 November 1990, you kindly published a letter from me in which I stated that if the Conservative Party were to so unfairly depose Margaret Thatcher, within a short space of time there would be car stickers all over the country proclaiming 'Come back Maggie - all is forgiven]'
As a result of the efforts of her manifestly inferior successors in recent months and weeks, I suggest that as the members of the Conservative Party gather for their conference this week a great many of them will be ruefully harbouring that very thought. But who among them will issue the first trumpet call?
Yours sincerely,
