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.

I AGREE with the cosmetic surgeon Tony Erian at Guy's Nuffield House that people considering cosmetic surgery should ask about a surgeon's record and talk to former patients ('Men who want a perfect body', 28 August).

Unfortunately, they won't find in his portfolio or those of other surgeons at Guy's Nuffield a record of Damian Hockney's pectoral implants, the operation featured. Details of this procedure, and many others for male patients, can be found at the clinic which was responsible, The Surgical Advisory Service, and with the cosmetic plastic surgeon who performed the operation, Jan Stanek FRCS.
