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 Don Foster MP

Madam: Fred Jarvis's eloquent article (Opinion, 28 September) omits to mention that, unlike the other two parties, Liberal Democrats do make clear commitments to investing in education. At our conference last week Paddy Ashdown reaffirmed the party's commitment to investing pounds 2bn in education, paid for if necessary by a penny on income tax. This was also a key theme of the speech by our treasury spokesman, Malcolm Bruce, and of a conference motion, which was overwhelmingly passed.

Yours faithfully,

DON FOSTER MP

Liberal Democrat Education Spokesman,

House of Commons,

London, SW1
