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: I would ask the Scots and Welsh to consider the profound implications of a "Yes" vote. Political and economic tensions will inevitably build up between the components of the UK. These will result in a highly unstable relationship, which will be damaging to all of us.
If change is desirable, let us do it by modifying existing political entities and include the whole country in such a review. Perhaps we should give more strength to existing local authorities, or extend the proposals for London to other major cities. There will be no winners in devolution as proposed.
