Letter: Labour hopefuls have own minds
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: We write having read your survey of Labour prospective parliamentary candidates (30 September).
We are called upon every day by newspapers and pressure groups to respond to surveys on a wide variety of questions. Of course we sometimes seek advice from Head Office on matters of policy but the answers we give and the opinions we express are our own.
It would be much more helpful if we were asked for our opinions rather than to give a simple yes/no answer to questions which newspapers believe will reveal divisions in the Labour Party.
The truth is the Labour Party is a united dynamic party ready to solve the problems this country faces, as this week's conference will show.
