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: John Edmonds is right. The "fat cats" were greedy bastards before the general election;they are greedy bastards now.

They pay themselves or each other. They ignore the Government's fight against inflation by refusing to set any kind of example to their employees. They take credit for work done by others. To boost their own incomes and shareholder profits they will sack with minimal concern the very workers who contributed their success. They give each other share options which give them the opportunity to part-own a concern and to influence its policies free of the responsibilities of management. They have not created any real wealth.

And they have scared the Labour government half to death.
