Tory Conference: Seen & heard
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.William Hague said Radio 4's Today programme had tipped a horse called Opposition Leader to win in the 3.30 at Warwick yesterday. "In years to come they will be tipping opposition leader to win in many more races than they would care to admit," he said. The horse came in second.
In addition to the 180,000 papers returned in William Hague's ballot, Central Office also received a number of electricity and gas bills, pounds 5,000 in cash and cheques - and a lottery ticket.
