Letter: In Brief
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: Like Mary Harvey (letter, 7 November) I very much enjoyed the lighter evenings during the experimental period of keeping the clocks an hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. The reason for this measure during the Second World War was to save precious energy. It seems strange that when the need to preserve resources becomes ever more pressing the Government neglects to take this step.
However, in the end it boils down to a matter of personal preference. Referendums are becoming more common. Here is something which everyone can understand and which could be decided in this way.
