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.

I WAS very impressed by your sequence of five pictures of John Redwood in the act of singing my national anthem ("The principality of Redwood", 2 July). As a Welsh exile who keeps in touch, I know that there is widespread regret that his departure from Cardiff went completely unmarked by any gesture (apart from an impromptu one, so we hear, on the part of his personal staff).

A suggestion: could not those pictures be issued as a set of commemorative stamps? - in the usual denominations, and, of course, with a little red dragon in the top right-hand corner? They'd make lovely postcards, too.
