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.

Jeremy Clarkson has a message for anyone feeling worried about their A-level results today.

The controversial former Top Gear host revealed he walked away with a C and two Us from his time at college - and was keen to stress that it failed to impact his life. Clarkson, who is worth an estimated £30 million, has enjoyed a successful career as a journalist and broadcaster. Even his Top Gear sacking failed to derail him, and he recently confirmed he would be fronting a new motoring show with Amazon Prime (and a reported £160 million budget).

As students across the country celebrated or commiserated, Clarkson provided those who performed less well with his own experience of flunking out of college.
