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.

Happy days for Carphone Warehouse then, which is enjoying life as a warm, if not hot, stock again thanks to the latter's impact on its sales.
Free of its US entanglement, life is just dandy right now. Just don't mention Virgin Mobile France. America's "oldest ally" as secretary of state John Kerry described it, is still causing a few problems. So may the desire of mobile networks to bypass it and sell direct.
But for now Carphone is enjoying another set of salad days. Even the retro name seems kind of cute, if increasingly illogical in an era of data transmission, tablet computing and clouds. But it would be a bit mean to rain on Carphone's parade just now, wouldn't it.
