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.

Metropolitan media types transplanted to Suffolk provides fertile ground for Canter's third hilarious novel.

Invited to lunch with newcomers Richard and Sarah, a Suffolk neighbour peers at his pasta with beetroot "in the hope of seeing breasts, legs, wings, livers…"

The hamlet of Worth gains allure when sexy Catherine moves in next door, but disaster and death soon follow.

Every page contains a joke, often uncomfortably acute: "A man of my age shouldn't read newspapers, not if he isn't in the newspaper himself. Newspapers are clubs for the people in them."
