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 balkanisation of the railways is hitting practice as well as timetables. On 30 October the Norwich-Liverpool Street train crawled to Colchester (and sped thereafter) arriving very late. Announcements apologised for leaves on the line, as did the ticket collector. When I pressed him further he said: ``They have a machine down here to clean the line, but this company won't use it on our part of the line.''
