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.

From Mr T Wynn

Sir: Payments in the French Rugby Union must put Bill Hogg, the Scottish Rugby Union's chief executive, in something of a dilemma, since it is the same chief executive who threatened Scottish students with being "professionalised'' for playing amateur rugby league.

The case must also be a embarrassment for the RFU because of the way they treated the Cambridge student, Adrian Spencer, who is still banned from playing the game because he, too, played rugby league as an amateur.

Yours faithfully,

TERRY WYNN MEP

St Helens, Merseyside
