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.Gordon Brown declared that the British economy would weather turbulence in the global markets as he insisted that economic stability would remain the watchword of his government.
In a speech that coincided with the shadow Chancellor's address to the Tory Party conference, he hailed his decision to grant independence to the Bank of England and stress the "resilience" of banking regulation in the wake of the Northern Rock crisis.
He said: "I believe that we are sufficiently flexible to adjust when events threaten our growth. And we will certainly continue to take all measures that are necessary to ensure that we are in future even more flexible to deal with events as they arise." He also signalled that a deal to fund the Crossrail project could be sealed within days.
