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.Britain should eventually join the euro to avoid being frozen out in the "EU mark two" that will emerge, Lord Mandelson will argue today.
The former Cabinet minister will join calls for a referendum to resolve Britain's future in Europe, admitting that the mandate won by his fellow pro-Europeans in the 1970s "belongs to another time and another generation".
In a lecture, the Labour peer will issue a "wake-up call" to Europhiles to fight back against the sceptics and insist that both the "European project" and the eurozone will survive the crisis.
Lord Mandelson will predict that Britain will face a choice – sticking with "core Europe" or "permanent second tier status" in "a sort of European annexe".
