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 CROSS-CHANNEL car ferries have plenty of problems at the moment dealing with competition from Eurotunnel. But when Stena Sealink announced that it would offer the world's first floating McDonald's - on its ferry Fantasia - it was confident that Eurotunnel could not respond.

Stena Sealink's managing director, Gareth Cooper, said: 'This is another tunnel- beater, particularly for families. They'll never be able to buy a Big Mac on a Channel tunnel train.'

Sadly, for him, this impressive strike turned rapidly into an own goal. McDonald's has just won the fast-food franchise at the Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal.
