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.

WESSEX SCANDAL: Wessex Regional Health Authority has referred to Hampshire Fraud Squad all material, including all that provided in confidence, which was given to the district auditor concerning the losses on computer contracts, Tom Sackville, Under-Secretary of State for Health, told Eric Martlew (Lab, Carlisle).

NO ANSWER: Archie Hamilton, the armed forces minister, refused to answer 15 Parliamentary questions by Ken Livingstone (Lab, Brent E) about the Porton Down chemical and biological warfare establishment, which has become a government agency. He said they were matters for the agency, and had asked its chief executive to write to Mr Livingstone.
