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.

IT'S CHRISTMAS, so go on, treat yourself to something uncomfortable, old-fashioned - and rather wonderful.

There is no sane reason for buying a Morgan, but plenty of emotional ones for investing in this 1930s throwback. It is hand-built - actually fussed over by craftsman's hands - and its rock-hard suspension and minimal wet-weather protection refuse to pamper driver and passenger. To get a new one means waiting until Christmas 2005, so it's advisable to buy a used one. Bridge Garage (01702 296109), in Essex, has a 9,000-mile model, finished in seasonal white and marked down from pounds 21,995 to pounds 19,995 - about what the first owner paid for it in 1994.
