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 take exception to the final paragraph of Polly Toynbee's article. There are over 1,100 Conservative Clubs, more than twice the number of any other type of political club. I have never been to a Conservative Club which is "full of old, sour, mean, white faces".
Polly Toynbee has shown that she is just as capable of making "politically incorrect" sweeping generalisation as those she sought to deride.
