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: Steven Norris describes people who use the public transport system, for which he has ministerial responsibility, as "dreadful human beings" ("Public transport minister says it's better by car", 9 February).

As a user of public transport, may I remind Mr. Norris that these "dreadful human beings" have one vital talent which he seems to have overlooked, namely, the ability to put a cross against a name on a ballot paper. When the next election comes, I trust that all my fellow "dreadful human beings" will remember just what he and his party really think of public transport users.

Yours faithfully,

M. MURPHY
