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.

Watch again as former home secretary Suella Braverman makes a personal statement to the House of Commons on Wednesday (6 December).

The former home secretary has been granted permission to make a personal statement to the House of Commons.

The Commons Speaker’s office confirmed the Conservative MP, who was sacked from her Cabinet role last month, is expected to make a speech in the chamber after Government statements on the Hillsborough report and the Gender Recognition Order 2023.

With statements usually taking an hour, it means Mrs Braverman is expected to speak after 2.30pm.

Following her sacking, Mrs Braverman wrote an excoriating letter to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in which she accused him of “magical thinking” over his approach to stopping migrants crossing the English Channel.
