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.The BBC's ex-political editor, Nick Robinson, received a surprise introduction on Friday night’s episode of The One Show.
Robinson, who retired from his role as political editor in July, fell victim to a Spoonerism from one of the programme’s longest running presenters, Alex Jones.
Jones accidentally introduced the journalism heavyweight, who is due to present BBC Radio 4's Today programme, as “Rick Nobinson”.
Fortunately, Robinson took the mistake in good humour, replying: “It could cotton on; it’s my stage name.”
Robinson appeared on the programme to discuss Labour’s leadership election.
