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: So Phil Llewellin loves his Swiss Army knife (Gardening, 16 January), his having been to the Canadian Arctic and the jungles of Borneo. Maybe so, but I bet it never opened any tins when it got there. The tin opener of a Swiss Army knife is distinguished for its singular ability not to open tins. If an army marches on its stomach, this must be why the Swiss Army never goes anywhere. Or has Mr Llewellin discovered something they don't know?
Yours,
