Letter: Yearning for a new MP
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 am writing to thank David Aaronovitch ("The Diva from Hell", 3 May) for his pointed parody of our dreadful Conservative MP for Gravesham, Mr Jacques Arnold.
I do not wish to make a party point, but, as a resident of Gravesham, I increasingly depair at being represented by a man who simply shouts, bays, and whines, and who sits in the Commons like a malign schoolboy at one of the rear desks.
Gravesham is an increasingly fine borough, and I crave an early election in the hope that we can replace Mr Arnold with a more worthy representative possessing at least some dignity and gravitas.
