LETTER : Not a fit time to face the press

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 Mr Phil Ridgway

Sir: Following another disappointing performance in the Cricket World Cup, the only way forward for England must be to invent some brand new games. This should allow us a few years of supremacy before the rest of the world catch up. Perhaps a competitive form of queuing could be devised, or something based around Morris dancing?

Yours sincerely,

Phil Ridgway

Woodbridge, Suffolk
