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.

AS THE wife of a franchised milkman I would query the amount Cyril Dixon ('Our milk', 28 August) claims typically goes to the milk deliverer, ie 14p. The rate we get is just under 9p per pint, quite a difference, particularly at the end of the week.

With all the changes planned and scaremongering about price increases, I would not like our customers to get the impression that it is the milkmen who are trying to increase prices. Can I urge all those who value the milk delivery service they get to write to their MPs and to the agriculture minister to ensure that milk continues to be delivered to the door at a reasonable price.
