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.I WAS sorry to read Lord Tebbit's attack on Neil Kinnock ('Kinnock couldn't run a fish shop - Tebbit', 4 October) in which he refers to him as 'a man whose intellectual abilities have been demonstrated to be so small'. I have spoken to Mr Kinnock a number of times, mainly about education, and would say that he and Lord Joseph are the two most stimulating of all the politicians with whom I have discussed education. Lord Tebbit's attack on Mr Kinnock's proven ability is a bit much coming from someone whose pronouncements are not exactly intellectually rich.
