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: I refer to Colin Brown's article "Howard's champagne pact goes flat" (7 May) in which he told us that William Hague is 36, his girlfriend 28.

I am disappointed that he did not tell us the ages of the others, namely, Michael Howard and his wife, Sandra, Kenneth Clarke, John Redwood, "one Redwood campaign supporter", "one of Mr Howard's supporters" and, most importantly, the champagne.
