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 Tory candidate to replace disgraced former minister Tim Smith in his Beaconsfield seat will be selected tomorrow.
The MP for St Ives, David Harris, and John Major's former Parliamentary Private Secretary, Tony Favell, who lost his Stockport seat in 1992, are both believed to be on the shortlist.
Mr Smith stood down as the candidate on 26 March after he had admitted receiving envelopes stuffed with pounds 50 notes from the owner of Harrods, Mohamed al-Fayed.
