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: Dr Kim Howells comments on the profits of supermarket chains (The House, 10 December): Tesco may claim to make a loss of 30p per kilo on British beef but who, I wonder, makes the huge profit on British lamb?

I have seen farmers in Wales get 72p per kilo and even as little as 50p per lamb, but the price on the supermarket shelves is prohibitive to the housewife.
