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 Greek islands, Portugal and the wider eurozone are disparaged in a new television advertisement promoting domestic tourism.
The 90-second ad, which will be shown this evening, features celebrities such as Stephen Fry and Julie Walters. They compare Corfu, Crete and the Algarve unfavourably against Britain's repertoire of attractions. But Abta, the trade association focused mainly on overseas travel, attacked the Government-funded campaign as "a misguided use of public funds".
The ad ends with the words: "No passports, no jabs, no visas, no euros – no wonder holidays at home are so great."
