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.Kenneth Clarke continued to keep the Tory Party guessing yesterday – he said would not announce his decision in a possible leadership bid until next week.
The former Chancellor arrived in London from a business trip in Vietnam amid claims from his close allies that he will declare his hand on Tuesday.
Mr Clarke said he had made a decision but would wait until he had consulted colleagues."At the rate we are going there will be an enormous number of candidates," he added.
