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.

IT ISN'T surprising that memories of the words of 'The Red Flag' vary, since it has been repeatedly parodied. One version does indeed run: 'The working-class can kiss my arse /I've got the foreman's job at last.' Another is: 'Then raise the dear old standard high /

Old Labour leaders never die.' Yet another, perhaps appropriate today, is: 'The people's flag is palest pink / It's not so red as you might think.'

COULD not Keith Flett (Letters, 2 October) and Nicolas Walter (Letters, 9 October) settle their apparently numerous disagreements over a pint and leave your letters page free

for other?
