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: You suggest (Business comment , 3 September) that the Conservatives' decision to purchase 230 Eurofighters is a product of obsolete defence attitudes. On the contrary: it shows a remarkable grasp of the changed threat and new danger to Britain in the form of New Labour.

The engineers and production workers whose jobs will be saved by the purchase, their dependants and the taxpaying public will by their gallant actions in the polling booths be able to safeguard the prosperity and freedom of Britain for continued enjoyment by the Conservatives. Seldom in the history of political conflict will so much have been owed to so many by so few.
