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.

MULBERRY, the troubled luxury goods group, reported increased first-half losses and scrapped its interim dividend. Founder Roger Saul (pictured) said trading was "as difficult and tough to read as I can remember". Losses rose to pounds 803,000 compared with pounds 722,000 last time.

The company, which has issued a string of profits warning since floating on AIM two years ago, has been hit by the strong pound and a slump in demand from Asian buyers. Like-for-like retail sales are down 5 per cent on last year.
