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: Your article on Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream ('The world in their scoop', 14 July) was poignantly timed for me, as I had just come out of hospital after a bout of acute inflammation of the gall bladder induced, it seems only too likely, by half a tub of the very delicious Rainforest Crunch.

For those of us with undiagnosed gallstones and a previously concealed inability properly to digest cholesterol, the 17 per cent butterfat in their product makes it ice-cream to die from, rather than die for.

Ben and Jerry's was, for me, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Haagen-Dazs will just have to be something for others to lick off in future. I can only hope they both make sorbets.

Yours faithfully,
