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.

SUE JENNINGS of Kent spent pounds 200 at Sainsbury's in order to take advantage of its offer for 30 per cent off British Airways flights. When she wanted to book a flight for four people to Nice she discovered that with the offer the fare would be pounds 164.50.

To make a comparison she checked with Trailfinders and discovered that it was offering a seat on the same BA flight for pounds 150. She complained to Sainsbury's, which replied that when it set up the promotion 'we did not say that we would be offering the cheapest flights.'

By way of apology, however, Sainsbury's sent Ms Jennings shopping vouchers worth pounds 60.
