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.

Sir: I recently spent a lot of time driving through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany on business. Our European counterparts have a good sense of safety and etiquette. Having overtaken a vehicle, they pull into the nearside lane.

Why is it that an incredible number of car drivers in this country see it as their God-given right to sit in the middle lane of a motorway when the inside "slow" lane is completely clear?
