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: We are told that the Government now proposes to come down heavily on the insurance companies which "mis-sold" private pensions. I confess I am not quite sure what this word means. (I cannot find it in any of my dictionaries.) But it is clearly conduct which deserves to be punished.

We now learn that part of our railway system was sold off by the last government for about one billion pounds less than it was worth. Was it "mis-sold"? If so, cannot the present government do something about it?
