1. Our quality, investigative journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so your money directly powers our reporting

3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message
