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.WHILE SOUTH-EAST England was getting a blast of winter yesterday, Boulogne in northern France was bogged down under 40mm of rainfall between 6pm on Wednesday and noon.
The 18-hour deluge was almost two-thirds of the rainfall expected for the month. A spokesman at the Meteorological Office said the edge of the front bringing rain to France and Belgium was responsible for the poor weather in London.
