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.

From Ms C Inson

Sir: A successful agent Eric Hall may be, but football punditry clearly isn't his strong suit. Explaining why freedom of movement for footballers is a good thing, he breezily claims (Another View, 22 September) that if Arsenal were all Italians, French, Israelis and Nigerians, the supporters would still love it as long as they were scoring goals and winning the games.

Oh dear, Eric. Don't give up the day job.

Even the Prime Minister of Luxembourg knows that the abiding fantasy of Arsenal fans is to win the game without scoring goals.

Yours faithfully

CAROLINE INSON

Luxembourg
