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.

The lottery winner Karl Crompton became Britain's most eligible bachelor yesterday but said "money can't buy me love".

Mr Crompton, who won pounds 10.9m, is too shy to ask the girl of his dreams out. Mr Crompton, 23, has admired her from afar but she only has eyes for her boyfriend. The girl who holds the key to his heart does not know who he is - and Mr Crompton would not reveal her name as he picked up his National Lottery cheque. Later he was reported to have been jailed for nine months in 1993 for smashing a beer glass into man's face.
