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.

More than one in three Britons would love to go abroad for Christmas but fewer than one in six have ever done so, says a survey published today.

As many as 49 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds would prefer a foreign Christmas, according to the survey from Barclays Travel Shop Direct.

Londoners are most likely to travel abroad during the festive season and Scots the least likely. Most of those who fancy foreign climes at Christmas do so to get away from the British weather.

The survey found that 37 per cent of people overall would like to go away for Christmas, but only 16 per cent had ever been on holiday during the festive season.
