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.

ANDREW BUXTON, who stepped down as chairman of Barclays Bank last week, yesterday relinquished one of his duties as a member of the "great and good" by giving up the chairmanship of the Confederation of British Industry's Economic Affairs Committee. Nick Reilly, chairman and managing director of Vauxhall Motors, will take the helm.

Mr Buxton, a former Guards officer and a scion of one of Barclays' founding Quaker families, looked perfectly relaxed at his last committee meeting yesterday. He is obviously looking forward to being out of the limelight.
