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 DANGEROUS device, irony, particularly in the Birtian BBC. So it was perhaps unwise of someone to suggest that Samantha Fox - born-again, bosoms, 'God is a pretty cool guy to hang round with' - would be an ideal choice for the 'Thought for the Day' spot on Radio 4's Today programme. Cue sage nodding and thoughtful-looking producers stroking chins. The Captain warned you first.
