Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: Here are a couple of critical reflections of an old man after viewing the Test cricket on television:

The facial cream of the cricketers, making them resemble clowns in a circus. Is there no invisible ointment available to do the job?

The vigorous and incessant chewing of gum by both captains. I am glad that my memory of JB Hobbs and Don Bradman does not include this.
