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.A Tory MP
has avoided possible deselection
by his local party by announcing last night that he will not seek reselection to fight the seat. Roy Thomason announced his decision just hours before his Bromsgrove constituency association was to vote on a recommendation from its executive that the selection process be opened to other candidates.
Mr Thomason announced his decision in a letter to the constituency chairman, Sally Cooper, saying that pressure on his family was a factor in his reluctant decision. He said he accepted responsibility for the problems that had arisen over his candidacy. He did not say whether he would continue as an MP until the election, or resign now, forcing a by-election on his party.
