LETTER : Short road to a Labour victory
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 was glad to read Clare Short's comments on taxation and even more pleased by her declaration that she had cleared them with herself ("Blair's joy cut short by new tax row", 15 April).
I would like Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson to know that so long as Clare Short is in the Shadow Cabinet I feel that I will have some reason to vote Labour at the next election. I would urge them both to make full use in Labour's campaign of her weapons of truth and honesty.
