Your support helps us to tell the story

In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.

Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.

Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

Sir: Dave Sullivan (letter, 10 May) writes: "We need more consultation and involvement from voters all year round." I'd expect such a sentiment from a politician, and indeed Mr Sullivan writes as leader of the London Borough of Lewisham. As a non-politician, I already have a full-time job, a family life and many other interests which take up all my waking hours. I don't want to have to add to this the responsibility of stopping politicians from doing stupid things more than very occasionally. I do my job. Let him do his.
