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'm sure that "Kirsty" Moore (or Christy, as he's more generally known) would be highly flattered to be described as one the "younger, trendier Irish artists" (Business, 12 October). Although undoubtedly still very popular in his native country, he's been around since the 1960s and to the best of my knowledge is well into his fifties.

NORMAN Miller says ("Unplugged, and ready to roll", Review, 12 October) that there have been 1,000 takers for the electric Peugeot 106. This is probably because it has been sensibly engineered to do a maximum of 56mph and not mimic the excessive acceleration and top speeds of the internal combustion engine. Bringing the national speed limit down to 56mph would provide the greatest possible boost to the electric car industry.

YOUR editorial "Black and white issue" (12 October) rightly suggests that Labour must act on the lack of people from ethnic minorities in top jobs in the public service. If, as Tony Blair told the Labour Party Conference, he doesn't believe in positive discrimination then he needs to tell us what method he has in mind to change things.
