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.

"Live and Let Die" has been voted the greatest James Bond theme. Sir Paul McCartney's song, recorded with his band Wings, topped a poll of BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 2 listeners.

The theme song from the 1973 film of the same name pulled in more than a quarter of the votes.

Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" from The Spy Who Loved Me was runner-up, while Dame Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" came third.

The poll was held to mark 50 years since 007 first appeared on cinema screens, with Sean Connery as Bond in Dr No.
