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.

Mark Bridger

Mark Bridger, accused of murdering missing five-year-old April Jones, has been remanded in custody until 11th January 2013.

David Cameron, Tory

Prime Minister David Cameron will address the nation at 11.30 today. At the Conservative Party Conference (#cpc12)

According to our writer, Andrew Grice, the PM wants to end the Tory party's lurch right with a speech that shows off his compassionate side today.

@David_Cameron evokes the Olympic spirit (in particular watersports) in his tweet: "I’m levelling with the British people in my speech at 11.30. It's sink or swim, do or decline. How we'll ensure Britain wins the Global Race ."

@timothy_stanley tweets: "David Cameron to tell conference that it's sink or swim. And Osborne's throwing us an anvil. cpc2012"

Gwen Stefani

Twitter appears to be celebrating @Gwen_Stefani's birthday, even though, according to her Wikipedia entry, it was actually seven days ago, on October 3. Never mind, with a new album out in Japan and at 43 she's still smokin' hot. Many happy returns, Gwen.
