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 Scottish National Party has suspended two of its members in connection with disruption at a Scottish Labour rally in the centre of Glasgow.
Piers Doughty-Brown and James Scott were part of a group which confronted Jim Murphy as he campaigned alongside comedian Eddie Izzard in the city.
In scenes which opponents described as “the ugly face of nationalism” the Scottish Labour leader was forced to short his visit amid scuffles and chants of “red Tories out”.
Nicola Sturgeon at the time said the protesters “weren’t acting on behalf of the SNP” and condemned the disruption, calling it "disgraceful".
