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. Professor Anthony Trewavas's letter (22 June) states quite clearly that of organic, intensively farmed and GM food, the first has the greatest risk.

Are we to assume that Professor Trewavas has access to favourable information concerning the long-term effects of GM food on the human condition? If not, his remarks are highly misleading. And if so, would it not be better to forward his results to Mr Blair who would more than welcome any straw to clutch at in his attempt to force GM foods upon the wary people of this country.
