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.

The Duke of York’s links to a businessman suspected of being a spy and Britain’s contracting economy lead the front pages on Saturday.

The alleged Chinese spy has been banned from the UK with his links to Andrew leading the Daily Mirror, The Times, Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph.

The Financial Times and the Daily Express focus on Britain’s economy after figures show it has contracted.

Lastly, the Daily Star splashes with “Sandwichgate” as a man who believes an “uncooperative” bacon sarnie designated his cancer hits back at Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s comments about sandwiches.
