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.Campaigners lost their High Court attempt to save Guy's Hospital, in south London, from changes they believe will harm the local community. They claimed they had been "blatantly denied" the right to proper consultations before a decision to transfer patient and emergency services at Guy's to St Thomas's Hospital.
But Mr Justice Laws rejected the application by Southwark Community Health Council, the Save Guy's Campaign and Simon Hughes, the local Liberal Democrat MP, to be allowed to seek a judicial review. He said they had delayed too long in launching their challenge.
