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.Amnesia: A man who turned up in Cardiff suffering from amnesia after he had been robbed in the street has now learnt that he is Barry Robinson of Leeds. His identity was discovered thanks to the names Marian and Claire tattooed on his left forearm, Lucy on his right forearm, Camille and Jenny on his right upper arm and Yvonne on his right wrist - they were his wife, three former wives and two daughters. How he got from Leeds to Cardiff, however, remains a mystery.
Winners: A survey of 2,500 winners of major prizes on the Littlewoods scratchcards lottery game has shown that people named Banks are more likely to win than others named Smith, Jones or Brown. The most common first names among winners were Christine and Tina, and winners were more likely to live in London or the West Midlands than anywhere else in the country.
