Snow swings out of 'Newsnight'
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.Peter Snow, the BBC journalist famed for his swingometer, presented his last Newsnight yesterday. He has worked on the programme for 18 years but will now front Tomorrow's World when Howard Stableford leaves in the autumn.
He was in typically ebullient form last night when the disgraced Neil Hamilton appeared on the programme to answer questions about Sir Gordon Downey's report. As Mr Hamilton shifted in his seat and folded his arms while issuing strenuous denials of any wrongdoing, Mr Snow remained effortlessly charming as he quizzed the ex-MP.
