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.

Salary: Around pounds 35,000 for his new LWT Friday night chat show Richard Littlejohn Live and Uncut, pounds 200,000 for a similar show called Live at Five on Sky, and pounds 68,000 for his twice-weekly column in the Sun.

Age: 40

Perks: The opportunity to broadcast his enlightened views on feminists - 'shaven-headed dykes'; John Major - 'There is apparently no limit to the PM's stupidity'; and the Royal Family - 'a tax-evading bunch of adulterers'. Life is not easy though; recently he is said to have been complaining that he doesn't know what to spend all his money on.

Home: A house in Haringey, north London, where he lives with his wife and two teenage children.
