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 BERNARD INGHAM, Margaret Thatcher's former press secretary, appeared in court yesterday charged with criminal damage.

He is accused of causing pounds 2,000 of damage to a Mercedes car belonging to his neighbours in Purley, south London, last December.

Sir Bernard, 66, spoke only to confirm his details at Croydon magistrates' court in south London. The case was adjourned until 8 March and Sir Bernard was granted unconditional bail. As he left the court he said: "I have nothing to say. You have heard what was said in court. That is all I will be saying at the moment."
