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 West has been manoeuvred by the Albanians into helping them achieve their aims, using the now familiar Balkan ploy of maximising the televised misery of their own citizens.

Trapped by their own rhetoric, "our leaders" dare not pressure the Albanians, whose military forces started an armed insurrection they could never hope to win and whose political leaders refused to use the massive electoral advantage in Kosovo to vote their own representatives to Serbia's parliament and change things democratically.

Why should "our boys" be sent to die for a Greater Albania?
