Letter: Europe: what now?
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: I despair for those on hospital waiting lists; for teachers and for our children in crumbling schools; for our fishermen; for the thousands of small businessmen put out of business by overbearing regulations and EU officialdom.
The resources, financial and human, that have been dedicated to the unworkable collective partnership that the EU is, can now be shown by the fatal report on the workings of the Commission to have been wasted.
It is time that we stop pursuing through the EU our goal of peaceful, mutually beneficial relationships with our neighbours. The Commission is beyond redemption. Our government's time should now be spent looking at alternatives outside of the EU to achieve this aim. We should demand repatriation of powers to Westminster, to give our MPs the ammunition to solve the problems in our country.
