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 solution to the suburban invasion of the countryside is more British television programmes depicting people living in attractive urban apartments, similar to American shows such as Friends, Seinfeld and Frasier, rather than the ubiquitous suburban semi.

As viewers rush to emulate the urban British lifestyles of their new favourite TV characters, we could expect a corresponding reduction in demand for housing in sprawling suburban estates.
