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.

Welcome to the The Independent's politics liveblog, covering our exclusive panel discussion this evening on 100 days until the Brexit deal is done.

Political editor Joe Watts is speaking to leading voices from across the debate, including cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom, anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller, and prominent Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg.

We are hearing from former attorney general Dominic Grieve, who became an unlikely leader of rebel Tories, Pro-EU Labour MP Chuka Umunna, and Labour Leave boss John Mills.​

The event is being livestreamed here.

Asked whether he believes Theresa May will still be in power in six months' time, he replies: "Yes."

He says this is not a personal issue about the prime minister and there is no appetite for a leadership change.
