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 Dr John Milner

Sir: Pensions are only of value if there are people available to provide the goods and services needed by pensioners. This means that as the working/retired ration falls, effectively the value of a pension will fall and this leads to the inevitable conclusion that people should continue in work for as long as possible, even if only part-time or of a different kind to their main "career". Or, to put it more bluntly, if you are going to live longer, you must work longer to get a reasonable standard of living in retirement.

Yours sincerely,

JOHN MILNER
