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.

Dino Adriano, chief executive of J Sainsbury, is holed up in his rather plain office at the struggling supermarket group's London headquarters with a phone glued to his ear. He is trying, at some length, to explain the group's latest attempt to start a fightback against arch rival Tesco. This is not an easy task as the grand plan is a management reshuffle that involves Mr Adriano handing over a large chunk of his job to David Bremner, his ambitious deputy. While Mr Adriano will remain group chief executive, Mr Bremner will take control of the core UK supermarket business.
