Letter: An awful lot of coffee mornings
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: The chairman of the Conservative Party, Sir Norman Fowler, has announced debts of pounds 19m (1 October). Should any organisation that depends upon coffee morning receipts, fetes, garden parties, corporate and private contributions and mysterious foreign sources be allowed to incur such enormous financial burdens? Surely it is at great risk from undue influences from both its creditors and would- be contributors.
A company with such deficits would be an easy takeover - if, under the present government's regulations, it were allowed to continue trading. Perhaps the Tories should call in the administrators to sort out the debris.
Yours faithfully,
