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.

Don't miss out on the goings on in the business world, with our daily round-up of the biggest news from the City.

Supermarkets and high street shops like Debenhams had a tough time over Christmas but it seems more fashion focused retailers managed a little bit better.

Burberry and Superdry both reported strong festive sales today. Burberry said its Christmas campaign, fronted by Romeo Beckham, helped sales rise in the final three months of the year.

Meanwhile the onset of cold weather after Christmas helped Superdry sales jump, as punters snapped up more coats and jumpers.
