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: David McKittrick demonstrates that John Major's Irish policy is as inept as any of the Conservative Party's other policies ("How Major stumbled into peace", 25 April).

What he doesn't address is the fact that the main opposition parties have wholeheartedly supported the Prime Minister throughout this saga of failure and proved that their understanding of Ireland is as poor as his.

Prior to John Major showing any interest in Ireland, the Labour Party had its own distinctive and practical policies, which it had painstakingly developed over a number of years but then ditched in favour of supporting Mr Major's absurd blundering.

Is it any wonder that the IRA has deduced that discussions with British politicians are a waste of time?
