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.

THERE HAS been strife in the home of David Jones, chief executive of Next. While announcing the clothing group's figures yesterday, Mr Jones referred to comments he made last year explaining the company's profits warning.

Mr Jones said then that the shops had got into trouble because they had understocked "the kind of clothes that my wife and my secretary would wear".

Yesterday Mr Jones repeated this - but begged journalists not to mention his wife again as she had objected at being dragged into the limelight.

Incidentally, the dapper Mr Jones was dressed in this season's colours - grey suit, grey tie, grey shirt. Take note.
