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.

THE Government will be called upon to set up a task force to investigate the problems of small businesses at a forum to be held as the Conservative Party conference gets under way tomorrow.

David Fenemore, the director of Agenda, a centre for management training and business development, says the move is needed to halt the waste of talent and public money caused by the continuing high rate of small company failures.

The task force - an independent commission representing small business and other organisations involved - would look at the reasons for the high rate of failures.
