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 Mervyn Southam

Sir: No doubt the false managerial assumptions expressed by Howard Davies reflect life on the Conservative side of the fence. This fence has grown mightily since 1979 as revenge has been exacted for the mild socialism that prevailed in earlier decades.

Are we seriously expected to believe that the profound and widespread loss of security, the destabilisation of families by the million and the astronomical enlargement of salary differentials all happened despite the prudent endeavours of a caring government?

The Tories have long lost sight of the principle that the earth and all its fullness was intended for the fair and reasonable benefit of everyone.

Easter might be a good time for them to return to it.

Yours sincerely,

MERVYN SOUTHAM
