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 Farooq Azar

Sir: Am I the only person who believes that Cedric Brown deserves his financial remuneration? In my opinion, the mistake that Mr Brown is making is not renaming British Gas. If it were to be called American Gas, Mr Brown would be on three times his present remuneration, and we would all be proud of him.

Instead, we have guilt trippers demonstrating, and MPs putting their tuppence in. If Mr Brown is succeeding in making money for shareholders, then what business is it of anyone?

Yours sincerely,

FAROOQ AZAR
