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.Tory supporters in Reigate, Surrey, are making a fresh attempt to oust their MP, Sir George Gardiner, over his Euro-sceptic views.
Opponents of Sir George, who fought off an attempt to deselect him last year, are pressing for an extraordinary general meeting to pass a no confidence motion. Sir George, former chairman of the 92 Group of Thatcherite Tory MPs, is resisting the move. The party leadership will not welcome the threat to another Tory MP, after the deselection of Sir Nicholas Scott in Chelsea, so close to the election.
