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: As a Scot who lives in England and who believes in the Union, I would like to ask Mr Blair: "Why are the English and Northern Irish not being consulted over devolution?"

We live in the United Kingdom, created by the Act of Union 1707 and the English, Northern Irish, Scots and the Welsh must be consulted as equal partners.

The Rev PAUL WILLIAMSON,

Hanworth, Middlesex
