Fix the date
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.When Tony Blair takes the short drive to Buckingham Palace today, he might usefully reflect on how much less fraught his past few days might have been if there had been no speculation about the date of the election.
When Tony Blair takes the short drive to Buckingham Palace today, he might usefully reflect on how much less fraught his past few days might have been if there had been no speculation about the date of the election. Just think: if the Prime Minister did not have the luxury of deciding when to go to the country, he would have had no need to postpone his trip down the Mall, no need to agonise about choosing the Vatican over Windsor Castle, no need to keep the Opposition guessing. The date would be fixed for good. Now there's a constitutional improvement for a third-term prime minister to bequeath to the country.
