Letter: Age-old problem
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: Why are we told (Home News, 26 May) that Presiley Baxendale QC is 41, when we are not told how old Alan Clark, Lord Justice Scott, Christopher Muttukumaru , Sir Hal Miller or Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Glazebrook are? It might have made more sense to have a photograph of her, so that at least we could judge if she looks her age.
More informative altogether would have been an explanation of the derivation of Miss Baxendale's Christian name.
Yours faithfully,
ANGELA TURNER
