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.

The Ritz, one of London's best-known hotels, could soon be managed from Hong Kong if talks with the Mandarin Oriental hotel group are successful. Trafalgar House, owner of the Ritz, abandoned plans to sell it last year, after the Jardine Matheson group - which controls the Mandarin chain - took a 25 per cent stake. A deal is likely to be concluded by the end of the week.
