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.Sir: Jonathan Glancy commented on the "fuming motorways" surrounding my home. Well, London has its own ring road, the M25, and I have spent many an hour fuming at being stuck on it, not to mention the rest of London's decrepit road system.
If I were to make a choice between visiting the National Exhibition Centre, convention centre and national indoor arena, all of which have excellent access and facilities, or a site which has to be first decontaminated, then I would not be going to London.
