LETTER: Master of spin
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: Surely the presence of Alastair Campbell on the Labour election team will convince many Labour voters to stay at home, or vote for another party. Plenty who used to consider themselves "core" Labour voters do not want to be associated with the spin, the illogical arguments and the bullying, that have characterised the last few years of a Labour government, particularly about Iraq. Alastair Campbell epitomises these traits. His presence on the election team shows that they are not going to go away.
