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.

GOOD DAY

Gordon Brown, whose speech was so passionate that it gave cynics ammunition to continue speculation about his leadership ambitions.

BAD DAY

Alistair Darling, whose proposals for welfare failed to win him a standing ovation.

REBEL OF THE DAY

Delegates who caused mayhem when they were not allowed to refer back a section of the policy document on Private Finance Initiatives.

SOUNDBITE OF THE DAY

Baroness Jay: "Ignore the press chat that New Labour is laddish with football at its centre. I may be a grandma rather than a lad and may not know every football result, but I'm certainly not excluded."

BEST FRINGE MEETING

The Independent's Great Britain debate, on the state of the post-devolution union, featuring Jack Straw.

BEST PARTY

Many to choose from but The Independent's event was, of course, the hippest one in town.
