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.

Manufacturing firms will be given more help to create thousands of jobs with a service supported by the Government, accountancy firm Grant Thornton and training firm Pera.

A new nationally operated Manufacturing Advisory Service will focus on helping small- and medium-sized manufacturers. Business minister Mark Prisk said the service will be delivered by the Manufacturing Advisory Consortium; it will help create £1.5bn in economic growth and 23,000 new jobs, as well as helping to safeguard another 50,000 jobs.
