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.

South West Water may alter contracts

South West Water is expected to scrap three-year rolling contracts in favour of one-year in the wake of the Greenbury report. It is believed the scope for change was discussed at a board meeting yesterday with a view to an announcement at the annual meeting on Tuesday. The change of plan will put pressure on other utilities to opt for one-year contracts. Some electricity firms including London Electricity and Southern Electric had already said they would go down that route in anticipation of the report.
