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.

Mr Soros, who is in London for the launch of his new book, Soros on Soros, said yesterday that he was "strongly in favour" of European monetary union and saw a Labour government as more likely to be able to engineer British membership. He reckoned, however, that the changes of Europe achieving monetary union were only 50/50, and he was sure that if it did happen, Britain would not be part of it. Opposition among British people was too strong.

His support for Labour was apparently based more on its pro-European stance than any specific policies. But he was critical of the Government's failure to support his efforts in 1990 to establish a fund for the economic reconstruction of Eastern Europe similar to the post-war Marshall Plan.
