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.THE GLORY of the world passes and the time arrives for the mellow, sunlit contemplation of a life spent in uncomplaining public service, a triumph here, a cock-up there. So it was that after the reshuffle Peter Brooke, former Minister for Fun, former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, former renderer of that embarrassing version of 'My Darling Clementine', was to be seen in the sunshine at the Serpentine, in Hyde Park, in a rowing boat, out for a carefree bit of paddling, with Mrs Brooke. Also on board, of course, was his personal protection officer. A funny old world, indeed.
