Letter: Post-election blues
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: Dave Sullivan (letter, 10 May) writes: "We need more consultation and involvement from voters all year round." I'd expect such a sentiment from a politician, and indeed Mr Sullivan writes as leader of the London Borough of Lewisham. As a non-politician, I already have a full-time job, a family life and many other interests which take up all my waking hours. I don't want to have to add to this the responsibility of stopping politicians from doing stupid things more than very occasionally. I do my job. Let him do his.
