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.

Support for Labour has slipped 2 per cent in Scotland although the party continues to dominate the political landscape north of the border, an opinion poll indicated last night.

The party has dropped to 52 per cent from 54 per cent last month, according to the System Three poll published in the Herald newspaper. The Scottish Nationalists have put on 4 per cent to 26 per cent, while the Conservatives remain unchanged at 12 per cent.

The Liberal Democrats dropped 3 per cent to 8 per cent although this could pick up later this month with the publicity spin-off from their party's national conference which is being held in Glasgow. The Green Party has scored 1 per cent.
