Letter: New Liberal Blair?
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: 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.
