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.In Arts & Books on 5 December 2008 we published extracts from various websites which commented on Constance Briscoe's successful defence of the libel action brought against her book, 'Ugly', by her mother. One of these extracts suggested Ms Briscoe was looking to recover her legal costs from her mother. We accept that Ms Briscoe has made it clear that any decision to enforce the judge's order for costs against her mother would be made by her publishers and not by Ms Briscoe herself, and that Ms Briscoe’s publicly expressed preference is that in any event her mother should not have to lose her home. We are happy to make these points clear.
