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.

The return of severe weather conditions to the west of England could upset travel plans for the end of next week, with the Met Office advising drivers to stay at home. Heavy snowfall is expected in the west of England, Wales, Yorkshire and Humber and the East and West Midlands from Wednesday. Drivers are advised to avoid travelling in the snow whenever possible, as low visibility, ice and compact snow will make roads treacherous.

Icy roads will also present a risk to drivers in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingham and Leeds this week. Those who are driving are advised to carry a shovel in case of unexpected road blockage.

Wednesday's snowfall will follow wintry showers in the North on Monday and Tuesday. Conditions are expected to worsen as the week goes on.
