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.

Night owls are heading north for the best open-late destinations, according to a travellers' poll.

Liverpool and Manchester are the best nightlife places in the UK, reviews on the website of TripAdvisor showed.

And only two of the top 10 in the nightlife list were southern England destinations.

London was in third position, with Brighton fifth in a list that also included Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff, Belfast, Blackpool and Edinburgh.

TripAdvisor spokeswoman Emma Shaw said: "Liverpudlians should be thrilled their city has been crowned Britain's best nightlife destination.

"The city boasts thriving live music and comedy scenes, along with great clubs, bars and restaurants."

TripAdvisor added: "Despite being world-renowned for its extensive club scene, endless pubs and great bars, London was beaten by the lively north in the nightlife stakes.

"To be named Britain's third-best nightlife destination is an impressive finish, but lovers of London may have expected it to be placed higher."

These were Britain's best nightlife destinations based on TripAdvisor reviews submitted between January 1 and September 16 this year:

1. Liverpool

2. Manchester

3. London

4. Glasgow

5. Brighton

6. Leeds

7. Cardiff

8. Belfast

9. Blackpool

10.Edinburgh
