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.

Car of the week

Your Papa wouldn't like it

The all new Renault Clio arrived last spring. Strong sales and the endorsement of Vic, Bob and Nicole meant that many overlooked the fact the car didn't have the sparkle of the original. The bug-eyed styling was not as cheeky as before, although this was a much more comfortable, spacious and better- built model than before. Even so, this Renault is not a state-of-the-art supermini. However, when introduced, pricing was competitive, as the new model undercut the old by pounds 1,000. At Renault Ilford (0181-276 5040) it is possible to do the same again with nil-mileage, 1999 S-registered examples at pounds 7,695 (cost new pounds 8,770). They started with 11 Grande models and now have two. Hurry whilst stocks last.
