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.The Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy is to marry his longterm partner Sarah Gurling this summer, the couple said today.
Kennedy and Gurling, who have been together for four years, became engaged during the New Year holiday at Kennedy's family home Fort William in northwestern Scotland.
"We have not yet decided exactly when and where we shall marry, though we are planning to have a summer wedding," Kennedy, 42, said in a statement.
"I am enormously looking forward to getting married. This is a very happy day which I hope others can enjoy with us."
Gurling, 31, who works for national lottery operator Camelot, said she was "extremely happy."
"Like any couple, making such an important decision has changed our lives in a way that is founded in love and friendship," she said.
