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.

Labour leader Ed Miliband says he is "looking at all the options" to make sure an MPs' pay rise "does not go ahead". Watch his comments in the video below:

On the other hand, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says it is "wholly inappropriate" for MPs to receive a pay rise of 11 per cent. Watch him speaking on his weekly LBC 97.3 radio show below:
