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 Ring ring. Trader Steve is on the line and he's cheesed off, as usual. Delightfully unreconstructed (depending on taste of course) Steve is, unusually for him, worried about the future. He's had a job offer, but the bad news is this: "They want me to be at my desk by 7am. Every day. And report to a woman. A woman. That's not going to work. And anyway everyone knows I have a lie-in on Fridays. I am a gentleman. I can't be getting into the office every time the stock market wants to open and start mucking around."
He remains available for new career opportunities.
