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 vicar's wife attacked churchmen and women for making 'pigs' of themselves on costly meals at the Synod.
Janet Vout has put down a private member's motion saying: 'This Synod regrets the over abundant provision of food at the July group session and requests that at future sessions, a more modest menu be offered.'
She claimed the food bill, which came to thousands, was partly paid by churchgoers.
