Letter: Scots, English and a leap in the dark
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: Following the ill-advised comments of Stephen Dorrell, the debate on the merits of devolution has focused exclusively on Scotland's future.
On the same day that the Health Secretary's remarks were causing an uproar, nearly 100 people prominent in Welsh life (from business figures, academics, and religious figures through to celebrities from the worlds of sport, music and the stage) launched a new campaign. Our aim is to achieve a resounding "yes" vote in the referendum which we, as well as the Scots, have been promised following a change of government.
We have launched a non-party political campaign in advance of the election because we feel that there is a need to take the focus on devolution away from politicians and aim it at ordinary people, the vast majority of whom are members of no political party. The wrangling of recent days proves such an approach is sorely needed.
