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.

Weathermen have put Britain back on storm alert with 80mph winds expected this evening.

Weathermen have put Britain back on storm alert with 80mph winds expected this evening.

They have already issued a severe weather warning and say storms similar to those that brought chaos on October are on the way.

Forty one flood warnings have been issued, including on the River Wye in Hertfordshire between Hereford and Ross-on-Wye.

Forecasters say the threat is from a "vigorous depression" forming in the Atlantic off the coast of Portugal, which is expected to hit south west England and Wales tonight.

They fear the weather could be as severe as on October 30 when tornados hit the south coast of England.
