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 Government should follow the precedent set by New Zealand and remove all subsidies to farmers. The NZ government did this after the UK joined the EU. This initially caused chaos, some bankruptcies and hardship. But now New Zealand farming has found new areas to develop, changed its dependence on lamb and butter products and is very profitable. The UK government should grasp the nettle and within two years UK farming would be back on top.
