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.

STEPHEN CASTLE'S friendly article ('Thatcher guru aims a parting shot at Fowler', 3 October) refers to the high-level contacts he supposes me to have with leading politicians. This is to dignify nodding acquaintanceships. It is also to ignore the more important fact that, throughout 30 years among the higher thinkers of academe, I have made it my chief aim to preserve an instinct for that suburban, backwoods and provincial opinion which remains today, what it has been for so many decades, the core and heart of English Conservatism.
