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.

MONICA LEWINSKY arrived in Britain last night to promote her authorised biography, which details her affair with President Bill Clinton.

Amid a scrum of photographers at Heathrow airport, Miss Lewinsky was accompanied by several minders. She starts her promotional tour today with a book signing session at Harrods.

The book, Monica's Story, has been written by the British former journalist Andrew Morton, who was also the biographer of Diana, Princess of Wales. The initial print runis 100,000 - unheard of for a hardback.

In an interview with Time magazine Miss Lewinsky said she hoped the book would sell well.

"I'm going to be criticised for saying this," she said, "but I want my book to do well. I need to have the means to take care of myself for the next few years. Therapy is not cheap."
