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.

LETTER: EU PITFALL FOR BLAIR

Sir: I read with some sadness of David Owen's new New Europe venture to oppose the euro.

My regret was not triggered by Owen's admirable attempt to complete the full set of political parties he has split and weakened, as the Conservatives now look ripe for the peculiar Owen magic. However, Dennis Healey's involvement in this sad adventure is a shame, and I feel that Healey's earlier assessment of Owen - here was a uniquely lucky man, the good fairy gave him charm, good looks and intelligence; unfortunately the bad fairy made him a complete shit - continues to hold true.
