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 don't want to appear ungrateful, having been given a free ticket to the Dome last Sunday, but, oh dear... There is no sense of grandeur and anticipation as you arrive at North Greenwich station, because the Dome is off to the left.

I expected a feeling akin to entering a cathedral when entering the Dome but this is lost, because the "zones" and facilities are arranged like a doughnut inside the Dome and you are immediately surrounded by them, with the height of the Dome hidden.

The whole experience lacks focus, because the themes of the zones are a bit woolly and there are no real links between them.

All in all, its just a mixture of Alton Towers and the Lakeside shopping centre - and not as well done as either.
