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: Tony King's letter (12 June) regarding the sepia photographs in Dorchester Tesco reminded me of similar prints in the Slough store. Images of the Licensed Victuallers' School which previously stood on the site adorn the walls behind the checkouts. Closer inspection, however, shows that the front door to the school is boarded-up and padlocked. This has always seemed to me to be cruel, almost ghoulish. Presumably the bulldozers are just out of shot.

Yours faithfully,
