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.

One man was arrested yesterday when Customs and Excise officers seized pounds 300,000 which two men were allegedly attempting to export to the Netherlands from London's Heathrow airport.

A Customs spokesman said: "Officers from the Customs and Excise national investigation service will now make inquiries regarding the man under the Drug Trafficking Act."

The seizure of the money is believed to be part of an investigation into alleged money laundering. Inquiries are continuing.
