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.While discussing the future of Tata’s 15,000-strong workforce, will David Cameron spare a thought for the 60,000 jobs eliminated by the introduction of the living wage?

Hot topic
I would have thought it unnecessary to employ a hot cross bun tester (Food and Drink Section). A hot cross bun is just that and no more. I was bemused a few weeks back to see ‘choc chip and fondant’ hot cross buns in one store. Why? If this is a Christian Country as Dave attests, it would be general knowledge that the hot cross bun is not a luxury food, but a simple baked item bearing a cross as a reminder of a particularly barbaric and unpleasant form of execution. It should be eaten on Good Friday.

On the brink
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have urged the government and doctors to "step back from the brink" to avert an all-out strike. Doctors desperately want to do this. We do not want to strike, we only want to complete the contract negotiations that we started, rather than allow the government to walk away early and undemocratically impose a half-cooked, ill-prepared contract that threatens patient safety. If the strike goes ahead the responsibility will lie solely with the ministers who pigheadedly refused to engage in negotiations over this very important healthcare issue with the healthcare professionals who understand the issue best.
