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.A Government minister has returned to his Whitehall office after the election – only to find himself locked out of the building and his belongings packed into boxes.
Before the election Desmond Swayne was a minister at the Department for International Development.
However the Conservative MP said that upon this return to work this morning his door pass did not work and that his office had been cleared.
He said that he had heard nothing from the Government about whether he would be continuing as a minister.
Meanwhile, Grant Shapps has been appointed a junior minister at the Department for International Development after being sacked as chairman of the Conservative party.
