Letter: The Labour Party's lack of vision
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: John Smith has taken a chapter out of the Government's book on getting the Maastricht treaty through Parliament and has used it to push Omov through the Labour Party Conference.
By not facing the issue directly, he has achieved his aim. But the benefit to the Labour Party of a slightly more democratic membership structure is surely outweighed by the damage to its own credibility of adopting subterfuge in this vital vote.
Yours faithfully,
LAURENCE MANN
