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:So the Government has found pounds 40bn, Tony Blair writes on your leader page (20 November). How fortunate, and just before Christmas too.

I wonder where it was found? If it is not too far away it might be worth the bus fare to go and see if an odd thousand or two has been overlooked; it is easily done in the excitement of the moment. If I do go I had better remember to take a plastic bag or something.

I wonder what pounds 40,000,000,000.00 looks like, in one lump so to speak; a bit surprising that nobody else noticed it. Just as well really, it might have fallen into wrong hands. Of course if anybody else had found it they should really have taken it to a police station I suppose, after all somebody must have lost it.
