Letter: Labour tastes
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.YOUR DISTINCTION between the unacceptable and acceptable faces of Labour is quite mistaken in some respects. You suggest that Old Labour had no taste in drink or food. Perhaps the jury is out on the proletarian eating habits of some northern Labour MPs. However, it is worthwhile recalling that the founder of the Good Food Guide, Raymond Postgate, was a former communist and that the next editor of the Good Beer Guide, Roger Protz, is a lifelong socialist. The left loves good food and drink and, unlike New Labour, wants everyone to be able to have them.
