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.

Sainsbury's has paid its staff a record bonus after the grocer celebrated growing annual profits and hit its highest market share for a decade.

The supermarket's 134,000 employees will share a bonus pot of £90m – up £30m from last year. Its chief executive, Justin King, said: "The success is down to the hard work and commitment of colleagues across the business."

Sainsbury's posted a 6.2 per cent leap in underlying profits to £756m over the year to mid-March as its market share reached 16.8 per cent.
