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 GEORGE YOUNG, MP for Hampshire North West, has been made a non-executive director of McCarthy & Stone, builders of private retirement homes. The shadow leader of the Commons should be well suited to the job, having been minister for housing at the Department of the Environment from 1990 to 1994.

Sir George, a Queens Park Rangers fan who lists his recreations in Who's Who as "bicycling", will become a member of McCarthy & Stone's Audit and Remuneration Committees.
