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.

Watch as Nigel Farageaddresses the Reform UK party conference in Birmingham on Friday, 20 September.

The party secured five seats at this year’s general election and is expected to say it plans to win the next time the country goes to the polls.

Deputy leader Richard Tice, chairman Zia Yousuf and MPs Lee Anderson, Rupert Lowe and James McMurdock are also set to speak.

The two-day conference is set to be the largest the party has ever held, Reform UK said.

The party now claims to have more than 70,000 members and has said this year's ticket sales are more than four times 2023's figures.

Ahead of his speech, party leader Mr Farage has said he is “relinquishing” control of the party as he gives up his majority shareholder position.

Reform UK Ltd is a registered company, unlike most other political parties, and was previously registered as the Brexit Party from 2018-2021.

Companies House lists Mr Farage and Mr Tice as persons with significant control, with Mr Farage currently owning more than 50 per cent of shares.
