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.

Samantha and Florence Cameron evaded the cameras when they left hospital in Truro, Cornwall, yesterday afternoon, after three nights in the maternity wing.

The Prime Minister's wife had been at the Royal Cornwall Hospital since giving birth to Florence Rose Endellion by Caesarean section on Tuesday. The baby, who weighed 6lb 1oz, caught the family by surprise during their holiday in Cornwall, arriving two weeks early. Mother and child left via a back door and were driven away in a people carrier with blacked-out windows, part of a three-vehicle convoy. Downing Street said the family would resume their holiday.

Florence's middle name, Endellion, refers to the village of St Endellion on the north Cornish coast, near where the Camerons were staying.
