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 wish of Labour and the Liberal Democrats, supported by The Independent, to run a bulldozer through out constitution is potentially the gravest threat in this election.

What is it in the left-leaning intellectual that motivates him to meddle where wiser minds with a true sense of history and continuity fear to tread, and to produce something un-British and continental, for that is the logical end if proportional representation is realised? What makes them devalue their country's history and institutions so?

Transforming the House of Lords into a state-appointed quango, paving the way for the probable break-up of the United Kingdom, extending majority voting in Europe is potentially catastrophic for the unity and stability of the country. Potential Conservative defectors should stop, think and put and end to these dangers.
