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.

Workers began putting up the Downing Street Christmas tree yesterday after the 20ft fir arrived from Galloway in Scotland.

The tree was supplied by Garrocher farm in Creetown as part of its prize for being named UK Christmas Tree Grower of the Year.

The owner, Mike Craig, said it was the “ultimate accolade” for the company and a great tribute to the hard work of his staff during the past 10 years.
