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 man aged 46 has been arrested by detectives hunting the killer of estate agent Suzy Lamplugh.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said officers yesterday arrested John Cannan. a car dealer, formerly of Leigh Woods, Bristol, on suspicion of the abduction and murder of Miss Lamplugh. She was 25 when last seen in July 1986 after going to show a man calling himself Mr Kipper around a house in Fulham, London.

Miss Lamplugh's body has never been found and she was formally declared dead in 1994.
