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.

Ukip will eventually win a Westminster seat, its interim leader Jeffrey Titford predicted today as the party's annual conference got under way.

Mr Titford - who took over the reins after the resignation of Lord Pearson - said his party is drawing support from a wide political spectrum, not just disaffected Conservatives.

Asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme about Ukip's parliamentary prospects, Mr Titford said: "We will get there in the end, don't you worry.

"I think we draw from all areas of the political spectrum. Three of our policies have been taken up by the three political parties, so it must be we are getting something right in our manifesto."

The party is holding its annual conference in Torquay, ending tomorrow.
