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.

We asked SNP members and MPs at the party's conference in Aberdeen what first came to mind when they thought of David Cameron.

Below are 10 of the best responses, plus a contribution from Alex Salmond.

2. When Sarah McGuinness thinks of the Prime Minister she is reminded of Adolf Hitler...

2. Her husband David McGuinness was the first of many to use pig-related insults

3. Julia Blechynden-Roe goes for a pretty standard insult

4. As does Keir Low, an 18-year-old SNP member who was named after the Labour party founder Keir Hardie

5. Stuart Donaldson, SNP MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, wanted to go for something more insulting but stuck with this description for the camera:

6. Mitch Kilbride just finds him "objectionable"

7. More farmyard insults...

8. And his mate just copied him:

9. This was all he could come up with when forced to think for himself:

10. This guy, who sells his own Scottish independence stickers, is way too philosophical for a whiteboard:

We then asked Scotland's former First Minister Alex Salmond what sprung to mind when presented with a picture of this:

This was Salmond's answer:

Just in case you can't read his terrible handwriting, it says: "It's probably vodka not water."
