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 TWO Ians who run Scottish Power - Robinson and Russell - were out of their native land yesterday as Scotland went to the polls to elect its first Parliament in nearly 300 years.

Instead, they were in London presenting the company's annual results. So did they miss out on this historic opportunity to help shape the future of their country? Not a bit of it. Both had already requested a postal vote. And how did they vote?

"Positively", is the diplomatic response.
