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.

The UK is on course for its slowest recovery in a century, even though the end of the double-dip recession is set to be confirmed this week.

The figures will have been boosted by one-off factors, including Olympic ticket sales.

The Sunday Times: Goldman Sachs due £13m tax credit after shares fall

Goldman Sachs is expecting a £13m tax credit in the UK. Accounts show that the US banking giant had set aside the money to pay tax on staff share options. But Goldman's shares nearly halved in 2011, meaning the tax bill was less than expected, prompting the bank to book the £13m tax credit.

The Mail on Sunday: Manufacturers step into breach left by banks

Manufacturers are lending billions to smaller businesses to make up the shortfall in lending from banks. Rolls-Royce said it had lent £500m to small suppliers, while GlaxoSmithKline said it had set up a supply chain financing system.
