Letter:No Tory place for us
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.

Sir: Anne McElvoy (Comment, 16 June) suggests that the Prime Minister should drop his undertaking to hold a referendum on British adoption of the euro, now that it seems more likely that he would lose. Instead she suggests that he should simply promise not to adopt the euro unless he thought there was proof that it would be in Britain's interest.
What about the views of the rest of us? That polling currently suggests a vote would be two-to-one against the euro is no reason to deny people their choice.
Let us have instead from the Prime Minister a clear statement on the date when he plans to hold the referendum. Then campaigners on both sides of the argument can prepare to offer their views to the electorate, and we can all make a choice without too many cries of "We wuz robbed" from those disappointed.
