Letter: Wheel in the real opposition
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.WITH reference to the forthcoming Budget discussions, I have no doubt the BBC has all the old favourites ready to be wheeled in to be interviewed.
But instead of Lawson, Howe, Parkinson and Tebbit, could we not hear Callaghan, Benn, Heath, Barber, and of course, Denis Healey, who cut VAT from 10 per cent to 8 per cent. For all their so-called faults, they had to run the economy without North Sea oil. All they had were factories working day and night.
