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.

The constant public services of the Queen and her family, generally loyally supported by staff and friends, may well be overlooked by those who are, as the Weasel implies (Up & Down Canary Wharf, 18 February), "blind as bats".

Windsor Great Park, mentioned because it had featured in David Attenborough's The Secret Life of Plants, of which the Weasel is an avid viewer, is part of the Crown Estate, profits from which, always quietly pocketed by the Treasury and possibly soon to be augmented by oil revenue, already far exceed the money spent by the Government on our Head of State.

Such genuine examples of the unseen worth of our monarchy should replace the Weasel's beastly metaphor.
