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.When an old schoolfriend turns up at his Stoke Newington flat, young Irish lawyer Danny Williams has no choice but to put him up. Overnight his shiny new life stumbles into free-fall as he finds himself unwittingly embroiled in terrorist activities and a plot to blow up the Bank of England.
Poet turned novelist Nick Laird proves - like his wife, Zadie Smith - a clued-up observer of life in the capital, particularly the pratfalls of office politics and urban romance. This is a novel that combines lad-lit staples - car-chases, pub crawls and beautiful women - with grown-up savoir faire.
