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 former mayor who allowed a party of school children to be driven to London in a bus with 15 loose wheel nuts was yesterday banned from operating his fleet of coaches.

David Marsh, 59, who served as mayor of Wincanton in Somerset, had his licence revoked by a traffic commissioner at a Ministry of Transport inquiry in Taunton, Somerset, after it was revealed he had been served with 15 prohibition notices on his 12 vehicles in 18 months.
