Letter: Task of the NEC
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: Tony Blair suggests that in the course of the campaign for Labour's NEC I failed to inform party members of my relationship to the magazine Labour Left Briefing (interview, 26 september). In fact, my membership of the Briefing editorial board is specifically mentioned in the official candidate's statement circulated to all party members with the ballot papers. It has also been mentioned in all the leaflets and press releases I have issued.
Far from hiding my radical socialist convictions, I have campaigned openly on them, and if I am elected to the NEC it will be because they are shared by large numbers of party members.
