Along with Paul Foot, John Pilger (Obituary, 1 January) was one of the greatest campaigning journalists of our times. His death brought many tributes, but not a word from Rishi Sunak or Keir Starmer. Proof that his journalism exposing the rich and powerful, their policies and motivations, made him persona non grata in official political circles. A better epitaph there couldn’t be.
