Letter: Beware the Tory MP and his racist gaffe- or was it?
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: What has Luton done to offend Polly Toynbee? We may have John Carlisle as MP for the north of the town (though many thought him MP for white Johannesburg) and Graham Bright as MP for the south but, thank God, we don't have to suffer David Evans, who is MP for Welwyn Hatfield.
He did, as chairman, preside in our football team's slide from the old first division to the present second (or the old third) but this is the limit of his malign influence on the town. Equally, pray God, the influence of Messrs Bright and Carlisle will be lifted in a few weeks.
PHILIP JONES.
Luton, Bedfordshire
