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.Christine Hamilton, the wife of disgraced former MP Neil Hamilton, said yesterday that she had had enough of politics - but added that it was possible that she could stand for Parliament herself.
Mrs Hamilton was commenting on the recent Channel 4 comedy Mr White Goes To Westminster, based loosely on the Hamiltons' electoral battle with Martin Bell, in which a disgraced MP's wife runs for Parliament. She said: "There's a whole world outside politics and it would be quite fun having time to enjoy it."
But asked if she might stand for Parliament, Mrs Hamilton, 48, said: "Everything's a possibility - I'm not saying it's a probability."
"I'm the kind of person who's going to survive life. You have to cope with whatever life chucks at you.".
