Letter: Only fairness can save Tories
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: Mr Major says: "I do not want personal choices made for me by the state." What he and his party do not understand is that for most of us there are many choices which we cannot choose to make unless the state helps us to do so. To take a topical example, many people want to choose to go to university but some of them cannot afford to make that choice unless Mr Major will fund universities well enough for them to go to university without incurring debts of pounds 20,000. If Mr Major really believes in freedom of choice he must put his money where his mouth is.
