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.

From Mr Tom Kilcourse

Sir: "The Weasel" tells us today (13 May) that Tunbridge Wells is seen as conservative ... "due to the high proportion of wrinklies and crumblies per head of population". Would he, I wonder, be equally non-politically correct in describing the dominant populations of Brixton or Southall, or is his facile irreverence confined to safe targets?

Yours faithfully,

TOM KILCOURSE

Colyton, East Devon
