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: While I am sure most people will agree with everything John Searle says in his letter of 14 June, the real message from the electorate was something far more subtle, yet poignant, than is thought.

I was one of the 33 per cent who, though with the gravest of misgivings, voted. By contrast, 67 per cent refused to vote. If that is not a referendum on Europe, what is?

'Get out of the EC and that right soon.' That is the message that was given.

Yours sincerely,

ALAN J. PAGE

Pettaugh, Suffolk
