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.

Spice wrack

Sir: Two resounding Bronx cheers to Peter Popham ("The teenies vote for snog 'n' run", 12 March). The Toys recorded "A Lover's Concerto", not "Symphony for Love". Far worse, how could he trace the history of girl groups without even mentioning the Shangri-las? Mistresses of teen angst, they are without rival as the greatest girl group in pop history and would chew up and spit out Geri Halliwell and Co before breakfast. Any two lines from "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" could blow the entire Spice canon out of the water. "When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in Love - L-U-V!"
