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.THE argument against devolution to a Scottish parliament seems to be that it would be unreasonable for Scottish MPs at Westminster to vote on matters affecting England if their English counterparts were denied an equivalent influence on Scottish affairs (letters, 30 July). Surely this could be overcome by excluding MPs from Scottish constituencies from voting on English matters which parallel those devolved. This would mean that Westminster would often sit as an English Grand Committee and the majority party would sometimes be different from the British government, reflecting the electorate's preferences within the areas concerned.
