Letter: Junk mail from John Major
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: I have received a letter from John Major, writing as Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party. He writes to me as one of "the people who have become shareholders in a privatised company". What right has he to pry into my private affairs? Even my best friends do not know I have bought shares.
His letter is two pages of disparagement of Labour for what he thinks they intend to do. However, he ends by saying: "My vision of the future is one in which success is rewarded, and investment in shares encouraged, not punished." Is this the vision I am being asked to vote for? I would prefer a better and broader vision.
