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 Keith Halley

Sir: Ian MacKinnon ("Landmarks for sale at pounds 5m", 8 January) should consult an atlas. Even when the Orkney, Shetland and the Scilly Isles are ignored, the most northerly and southerly points on the British mainland are Dunnet Head (Caithness) and Lizard Point (Cornwall).

No amount of tourist promotion can hide these basic geographical facts!

Yours sincerely,

Keith Halley

Dalkeith, Midlothian
