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: Mrs M. E. North (Letters; 'Patten wrong on right to silence', 12 October) might well have explained to her Dutch guest that if, as Sir Henry Wooten wrote, 'An ambassador is an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country', then it could be said that a minister of the Crown is a dishonest one kept to lie at home for the good of his party.

Yours faithfully,

DOUGLAS STEWART
