Letter: New Liberal Blair?
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Sir: I share with Paul Moore (Letters, 1 October) a sense of unease about the photograph of Tony Blair in a Brighton church, but for a different reason.
The nature of the picture would suggest that it was taken with the permission, if not encouragement, of those concerned. It reinforces my distaste for the way in which Mr Blair seems to use his religion to claim the moral high ground. Whilst he is free to believe whatever he likes, I do wish Mr Blair would keep his Christianity to himself, and get on with the job of being a politician; if I want to hear a sermon, I will go to church.
