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.

Story of the week: William Hague has called on Tory defector Shaun Woodward to resign his seat in Witney, Oxfordshire. Woodward has signed his Labour Party membership and told Mr Hague (pictured) he "no longer supported the increasingly right-wing policies of the Conservative Party".

Talking point: Officials at the London Eye, the giant ferris wheel, plan to get a licence to perform weddings, after numerous requests from couples.

Top Gossip: Disgraced Tory peer Jeffrey Archer has allegedly been cheating on wife Mary with actress Sally Farmiloe, once a star of TV soap Howard's Way.

Talked-about book: Delia Smith's second How to Cook book is at the top of the hardback list, so no excuse for burnt turkey or mushy sprouts on the 25th.

This was the week: James Bond star Desmond Llewelyn, who played the gadget inventor Q, died on Sunday in a car crash.
