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: Rory Stuart says the house of Stuart stands ready to assume the throne (letter, 18 December) if the nation is disillusioned with the Windsors.

Does this mean that the Jacobites have dumped the Roman Catholic faith in order to head the Protestant Church of England? If not, a member of the house of Stuart cannot be king or queen. If so, we would be ill-advised to have as king or queen the sort of people who abandon their principles when it suits them.

Yours faithfuly,
