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.

A motorist tried to escape a drink-driving ban by eating the paper slip with his breath-test results on, magistrates in Chatham, Kent were told. Paul Wadham, 29, from Upchurch, Rochester, was banned from driving for three years, fined pounds 40 for having no insurance, ordered to pay pounds 35 costs and told to do 240 hours community service for obstructing a police officer, drink-driving, and driving while disqualified.
