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.

A driver who blacked out at the wheel of a National Express coach yesterday while travelling at 60 mph on the M42 is to be questioned about the incident, police said.

The hostess on the coach, Tina McCall, had to steer the vehicle to safety after the driver Mark Davies, 30, lost consciousness near Solihull, West Midlands.

The coach was badly damaged - but Ms McCall, 40, and the 30 passengers were unhurt. Mr Davies was treated in hospital for a minor head injury. Police said there is no suggestion that drink or drugs were involved.
