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: I was enjoying the article by John Lichfield (22 February) about the difference in food retail regimes between France and the UK, when I was struck by an error: the words saucisse and saucisson were explained the wrong way round. It is the saucisse that is moist, and requires further cooking (eg saucisse de Toulouse), and the saucisson that is dry. The latter is often to be found in French shops described as saucisson sec.
