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: Lord Jenkins has apparently given a very good answer to the limited question he was asked. However, once all the proposed constitutional reforms are implemented, has anyone given any thought to the utter muddle we as voters shall find ourselves in?

The system of voting will depend on which type of election it is: local, mayoral, House of Lords, UK general, Welsh, Scottish or European. All this attempt at reform still fails to answer the question, "What is the real aim and purpose of it all?"
