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.Outlook Amazing what you can do with Japanese managers. Thanks to the small matter of an £8m bung from the Government, more than 1,000 desperately needed jobs are going to be created in the North-east, where Nissan will build some new cars.
David Cameron's tour of the Far East has certainly got off to a good start. The Prime Minister will be hoping for a few more goodies, though, and will dangle carrots such as Britain's low level of corporate taxation, its flexible labour market compared with European rivals and various sweeteners available from various regional development funds. So he might yet come home with a few more announcements.
That's the life of the modern politician: singing for your supper in front of international businessmen and financiers in a corporate version of Britain's Got Talent. Sometimes you wonder why so many people still want to do it.
