LETTER: Charles and Diana: both committed to helping young people
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.From Ms Liz Lynne, MP
Sir: I think it is unwise for royalty to be appearing to support a political party by sharing a platform with one of its representatives (report of the Princess of Wales's speech to the housing charity Centrepoint, 8 December). But it is strange that everyone thinks that the princess is supporting the Labour Party when, in fact, that party has no policy in restoring benefit rights to 16-18 year-olds, despite the absence of such benefit rights being a contributory factor in the cause of homelessness and insecurity among young people.
Yours sincerely,
Liz Lynne
MP for Rochdale (Lib Dem)
House of Commons
London, SW1

The writer is Liberal Democrat Social Security and Disability spokesperson.
