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: The only headache England has is not "batting beyond belief" (David Llewellyn, 23 Aug) but chairman of selectors, David Graveney and his colleagues. A third-rate player, he continues the line of past chairmen who cannot see the wood for the trees.

He admits that he and his fellow selectors face a tough task choosing a party for the tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe. I say let's get rid of all those old school tie connections in the MCC set-up and start again. Send the current England Under-19 team.
