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 long-running naming rights row surrounding the Lotus and Team Lotus brands has finally been resolved.

The issue saw the Lotus name dragged through the High Court earlier this year, however both parties have now agreed settlement terms.

Team Lotus, run by Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes, and Group Lotus, who this season have been title sponsor of Renault, both claimed ownership of the name Lotus. Next season Team Lotus will become Caterham, and Lotus Renault will retain its name. The Group Lotus chief executive Dany Bahar said: "I would like to express how pleased we are this matter is finally closed and we can now focus on looking forward to the future."
