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.THOMSON Holidays has come up with a good way of cutting complaints: it gives away money. Brian Crompton of Skegness was one of the holidaymakers booked on a Thomson package to Italy's Lido de Jesolo. 'The hotel was advertised in the brochure as having a sea view, but to see the sea one had to step on to the balcony.' Mr Crompton was not so churlish as to complain, but 'in recognition of the slight discrepancy we each received a rebate of pounds 25, despite not having asked.' Since Thomson makes, on average, pounds 7 on each holiday booking, this is generous indeed.
