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 would be interested to hear what legal position is , given the obvious lack of choice when visiting the supermarket. The food industry is surely leaving itself open to extensive legal action should anything go wrong.

Supermarkets and those producing the GM crops should be forced to maintain a large insurance provision to cover future costs. If the insurance industry considers there to be no risk then the premiums would be minimal. Leave it to the professional pessimists to evaluate the risks.
