Letter: Male MPs, male political editors

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: Labour looks for ways to increase the number of women in Parliament ('Labour parity vow may put men on 'back seat' ', 21 April) from its current level below 10 per cent, and Anthony Bevins leads his story on a potential threat to male Labour MPs.

Perhaps it is a generation of male political editors we should be seeking to wipe out, until we reach the 50 per cent target?

Yours sincerely,

ANGELA EAGLE

MP for Wallasey (Lab)

House of Commons

London, SW1
