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."Labour's had a good kicking, because we have lost contact with our own members and supporters, who either stayed at home or voted for other candidates. We need a little humility." Paul Flynn, Labour MP
"If the Archangel Gabriel had stood with the name Winston Churchill, Ken would still have won. The way Labour handled the selection of its candidate pretty well handed it to him on a plate" Lord Archer, former Tory Mayoral candidate
"The fact that I am streets ahead of the official Labour candidate is something we are taking a lot of pride from" Steven Norris, defeated Tory mayoral candidate
"To all the people who have helped in any way with my campaign, it was not always easy. I believe the message was right but we found it difficult to get the message across. So as the principal messenger, I must accept my full share of the responsibility for that failure" Frank Dobson, defeated Labour Mayoral candidate
"Obviously it is a disappointing result for Labour. We had a lot of faith in Frank. He is a genuine man, but obviously has not won and that is disappointing" Jim Fitzpatrick, Labour MP
"My first day and the tube breaks down. It is ridiculous" Ken Livingstone, London Mayor
