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.

LATEST news. BR offers a better service than SNCF. Dear old BR will accept any motor on its Motorail services, but the French reject the many readers who own Rollers, Bentleys and Daimler Sovereigns. The French have decided that these models are simply too wide to travel by rail. This is a bit odd, since it is always assumed that BR cannot accept loads as wide as the French. But for once the French can't be accused of chauvinism: they've also decided the Renault Espace is too tall for their wagons.
