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.

This is the first of two planned chunks of downloadable content for GTA IV.The Lost and Damned is an amazingly good add-on to what is a fine stand-alone title. It’s available exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade, and your £13.60 buys you another rich slice of Liberty City, this time studded with violence and vendettas courtesy of warring biker gangs. It’s a classic tale of young upstarts gaining power, as elderstatesmen fight back to preserve their turf. It offers gamers 20 new missions, plus mini- games, a slew of new weapons, songs and modes, all ofwhich add up to around 20 hours of play. Brilliantly told and beautifully realised.
