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.

Tony Blair is planning to follow today's assessment of Labour's first 100 days in office with an annual report on the performance of the Government next May on the anniversary of the general election.

Denying it would copy the US President's "State of the Nation" address, Downing Street officials said it would take the form of a company chief executive's report to the shareholders, with a check on the 10 main manifesto commitments, including smaller class sizes.

John Prescott, the Deputy Prime Minister, and Peter Mandelson, minister without portfolio, will today highlight the achievements of the Government's first 100 days. Colin Brown
