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 venue: Vasco & Piero's Pavilion in Soho. It does great Italian food, has a great vibe and is buzzy but as private as you need.

The company: Mark Collier, who is the founding partner of Dare digital marketing.

The conversation: We share quite a lot of clients including Vodafone and Barclays so we chat about them. We also talk about digital and traditional agency convergence. Mark's son also plays for my old rugby club.

On the menu: I'm shockingly consistent. I have the calves' liver, spinach and a tomato and onion salad every time I go. I'm running a half marathon in three weeks, so this was a water-based lunch.

Come here often? I probably do one work lunch a week, not really more. And only about four boozy lunches a year.
