Letter: Tory troubles
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: As one of the Conservative Party's 14 candidates fighting a London Assembly seat next May, I and met Shaun Woodward at Central Office on 30 November. He was particularly hostile to Labour's plans for the Tube.
Now that he has defected to labour, how many other Labour policies will there be with which he finds himself in disagreement?
Turncoats are rightly reviled by both sides - by the party they have left for their disloyalty and by the party they join for the fear of it.
