Letter: Reshuffle raises fears and hopes
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: The hopes of many art lovers have been raised by the appointment of Stephen Dorrell as Secretary of State for National Heritage, a heritage that remains very much in a state of crisis.
Perhaps he could begin his term of office in a spectacularly convincing manner by persuading his former colleagues in the Treasury to look kindly on a bridging loan (to be repaid when the proceeds from the National Lottery come on flow ) to acquire Canova's exquisite The Three Graces before it sadly becomes a loss to the nation by vanishing overseas on 5 August.
Yours faithfully,
