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.Nicky Gavron may not yet be a household name, but she should soon become a familiar face in London. Having beaten Tony Banks to the Labour nomination for the mayoral election in 2004, she will fight a campaign against Ken Livingstone that, we suspect, may lack a little bite. Mr Livingstone, a man who was expelled from the Labour Party, has endorsed her as his "sweetheart" candidate. The opposition will have to come from Steve Norris, the likely Conservative, and the Liberal Democrats' Simon Hughes (if he can make up his mind).
No doubt, as the current Deputy Mayor, Ms Gavron will be featured almost as regularly as the mayor himself in his latest money-wasting scheme: a new bi-monthly newspaper, funded by council taxpayers. The paper will be printed by Northcliffe Press, part of the group that owns the Evening Standard, Mr Livingstone's chief tormentor. How's that for a public-private partnership?
