Letters: Reputations defended
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.I WAS appalled to read Geoffrey Wheatcroft's article on political corruption in which he alleged that my father, Desmond Donnelly, who was MP for Pembrokeshire from 1950-1970, was being pursued by the fraud squad at the time of his death. There is not and never has been the slightest evidence that my father was in any way dishonest. He believed in the highest standards of honesty for those involved in public life, and died tragically after a long depressive illness.
