Letter: Carey and jobless: a question of timing
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: Andrew Brown reports ("Bishops vote on taking a political stand", 15 January) that a senior adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury tried to "squash" the forthcoming report on unemployment and the future of work by an ecumenical churches' sponsoring group set up by the Council of Churches for Britain and Ireland. This is completely untrue.
There have been discussions about the timing of the report's publication and launch, now set for early April. This is entirely the responsibility of the sponsoring group, taking account of advice from various quarters. That is, however, a quite separate issue from the substance of the report itself.
