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.

AND finally an item reported in our esteemed contemporary, Inside Hotels. Apparently, it recently became clear from the book-keeping of one of Messrs Forte's many restaurants that a member of the staff was pilfering cash from the till. So the hawk-eyed men at head office took it upon themselves to install a hidden camera directly above the till, unknown to staff in the restaurant.

Imagine the beads of perspiration that must have broken out on the foreheads of the Forte executives deputed to watch the tape hoping to catch the culprit in the act. Their viewing was enlivened by the sight of the recently employed head waitress approaching the till, where the manager was adding up the day's takings. She was wearing a leather jacket, full stop. History does not record whether the manager completed his count.
