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.

George Stephenson and his Rocket, Charles Darwin and British design classics, ranging from the red telephone box to Concorde, will be featured on stamps to be published next year. Ten stamps celebrating design will go on sale from 13 January. The Mini, the miniskirt and the London Underground map will also be featured.

A different set of stamps will be issued every month. In February a special collection will be dedicated to Charles Darwin on the bicentenary of his birth. The pioneers of the Industrial Revolution, including Stephenson, will be featured in March.
