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: The Prime Minister's warning to his party ("Carping will let in Tories, say Blair", 28 September) and the feelings it might provoke in his more left-wing members, brings to mind Orwell's Animal Farm.
As the initial excitement of the animals' victory over Farmer Jones recedes and life on Manor Farm steadily gets worse, Squealer is constantly heard to warn that if the animals don't do what they're told then they will see the return of the dreaded Jones.
