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: Is Kenneth Baker, the former Home Secretary, who has today been found attempting to put himself above the law, the same Kenneth Baker, former Secretary of State for Education, who put this country in breach of the International Labour Organisation Treaty by the enactment of the Teachers' Pay and Conditions Bill?

Yours sincerely,

TIM LUCAS

Divisional secretary

East Sussex County Division

National Union of Teachers

Peacehaven, East Sussex
