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.Ringo Starr's once-favourite sports car is to go under the hammer, it was announced yesterday.
The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL owned by the Beatles drummer when fans were singing the immortal line "baby you can drive my car", is expected to fetch up to pounds 30,000. Starr bought the 12-year-old car in 1972 from the original owner in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. His name appears in the log book, along with his signature. In 1987 he sold the two-seater roadster to Hans Duemke, an engineer who trained with Mercedes in Stuttgart. Mr Duemke, from Cobham, Surrey, is putting the car up for sale through Brooks Auctioneers at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Sussex on 20 June, after gradually restoring it "as a labour of love".
