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 leading article today ("A tonic for Westminster", 12 May) states that, had the proposals of the Nolan Committee been in force at the time, I would have had to wait longer than the 15 months I did wait after leaving Government to become chairman of Cable & Wireless. I wonder.

Over 85 per cent of Cable & Wireless's profits (at that time over 90 per cent) are generated overseas and my suspicion is that I would have had to wait less, rather than more.

Yours faithfully,

YOUNG

Executive Chairman

Cable & Wireless

London, WC1
