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.IN 1959 Douglas Jay suggested that the Labour Party should drop nationalisation, break the link with the unions and change its name. Hugh Dalton objected that that would not only be throwing out the baby with the bath water but throwing out the bath as well. Now that Tony Blair has acted - knowingly or otherwise - on the advice of the former, he has created the situation foreseen by the latter.
What is New Labour?
