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 Mrs Anne N. McLeod

Sir: Why all the surprise about Daniel Day Lewis helping to build sets for The Crucible (Diary, 17 January)?

As a pupil at Bedales, woodwork was his main subject. Apparently, the Welsh dresser he made during his stay is still at the school.

He attended an interview with the furniture designer John Makepeace in 1975 with a view to being taken on as a pupil. However, he was accepted by Bristol Old Vic and the rest is history.

Yours faithfully,

Anne N. McLeod
