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.

What is happening at BP? We are used to watching the dozy oil company plodding round the doldrums, the butt of City scorn. Expensive efforts to promote the company must be paying off.

The sexy annual report recently won the Institute of Chartered Accountants prize. Now its directors seem to be returning to polite society. I notice that David Simon, the chairman assumptive, has been appointed to the court of the Bank of England. Can the run of luck last?
