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: Russell Bulgin's article on motorcycling is absolutely correct. This point of view has been promoted over recent years by the Motorcycle Retailers Association, British Motorcyclist Federation, Motorcycle Action Group, etc, but this is the first time it has been given such prominence by a quality paper.

As I travel into central London every day and pass an endless stream of cars stuck in jams with the driver as the sole occupant, isn't it time that more use of motorcycles (large and small) is

encouraged?

Yours sincerely,
