Letter: Labour on wheels

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: Christian Wolmar ('Two wheels good, more wheels bad', 14 June) complains that Labour has not come up with a national transport policy. As explained to him before, as part of John Smith's 'long game' approach to the next general election, I agreed that we should not produce an overall transport policy document until 1995.

In the meantime, we will soon be launching a series of consultations in Scotland, Wales and English regions on how best to meet the transport, economic and environmental needs of each part of Britain. Mr Wolmar will have to bide his time.

Yours sincerely,

FRANK DOBSON

MP for Holborn and
