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 The Rev David Kingdon

Sir: Jim Murphy, president of the National Union of Students, comments on the findings of a survey among Oxbridge students showing that Jesus Christ is the most admired person and the Bible is the most favoured book (report, 11 December). You quote him as saying: "I am surprised and shocked. I have never heard anything like it before."

I am even more surprised at his surprise. Does he not know that on a significant number of campuses the Christian Union is frequently the largest and most active student society?

Yours faithfully,

David P. Kingdon
