Letter: Labour's positive stance on arts
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 Marr's article happened to be published the day after I had sat for more than an hour on the terrace at the House of Commons with Mark Fisher, who is finalising the party's cultural policy for the next manifesto. I confidently predict that, when the policy is published, he will be as excited and thrilled as I was by its freshness and innovation. Mark's boss, Jack Cunningham, is equally enthusiastic about the arts, as I know from many joint visits to the theatre and the opera, and long discussions about books and music.
