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: By a curious coincidence next year sees the anniversaries of two events associated with the proudest moment in this island's history. The Queen, we learn, is to mark the 350th anniversary of the execution of the nightie-wearing Charles I with an exhibition at her Royal Gallery next January. When, pray, may we learn what plans this "People's Government" has to mark the 400th anniversary of the birth (25 April 1599) of this country's greatest Parliamentarian? Certainly Cromwell wouldn't have contented himself with merely removing the monarch's head from the currency.
