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.

Under a Fiver

2006 Portal da Aguia Blanco

Gluggy everyday white with fresh-pear fruitiness and a refreshing bitter lemon twist. Oddbins, £4.99, or £3.99 if you buy by the case

Under a Tenner

2005 La Motte

Shiraz Viognier Arich and spicy Cape take on Côte Rôtie; the floral fragrance of the viognier mingles nicely with the concentrated dark-cherry fruitiness of the shiraz to add lift and complexity. £9.99, Tesco.

Splash Out

2006 Ata Rangi Crimson Pinot Noir

A captivating red, full of juicy-fruit quality and yet with the added texture provided by subtle oak and the gentlest nudge of tannin. £14.95, Green & Blue Fine Wines, London SE22 (020-8693 9250), Halifax Wine Company (01422 256 333)
