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: It was great to learn that the glorious career of Molesworth at St Custards is to be republished as a classic alongside Eliot and Shakespeare ("Floreat Molesworth", 28 October). However, I must take issue with John Walsh's contention that Molesworth fans are almost exclusively male. As any fule kno, girls find skool just as hilarious as do boys, and have a pretty similar sense of humour, particularly at the age of 11 or 12. Enjoying silly jokes is not a male preserve.
