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 leader Ed Miliband and his partner Justine have called their second child Samuel Miliband, it was announced today.
The 8lb 3oz boy, who was born late Sunday night, was given the name in honour of Ed's paternal grandfather.
He will also have the middle names Stewart, after Justine's father, and Thornton, which is her surname, according to a Labour Party spokesman.
The couple's elder son, 18-month-old Daniel, also has the middle name Thornton.
Mr Miliband has previously expressed embarrassment that he failed to register as Daniel's father on his birth certificate, and said he and Justine will "get round to" marrying at some point.
They have six weeks to file documents relating to Samuel's arrival.
