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: I am excited at the prospect John Smith describes of 'a high-skill, hi-tech, high-wage economy'. Is this in any way related to the 'white-hot heat of the technological revolution' that Harold Wilson decided Frank Cousins would tend after the 1964 election, after he had spent a lifetime trying to stem the tide of industrial change?

Some practical steps to attain this goal from John Smith might help convince the electors - more and better resourced city technology colleges, higher pay, status and rewards for government and academic scientists?

Yours sceptically,

EDWARD TEAGUE
