Letter: Political timing
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: You ask a nave question in today's leading article, 'The stench of corruption'. Why did the Prime Minister not challenge the two ministers about the Al-Fayed matter three weeks ago when he first became aware of the potential sleaze-factor? Look at your diary. Such a confirmation, with its attendant resignation and libel potential, would have preceded the Labour and Conservative Party conferences.
Yours sincerely, MICHAEL E. ROSE Olney, Buckinghamshire 21 October
