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.

The paper says that Lord Palumbo will contest the case.

A junior hospital doctor has died after working an 86- hour-week in an NHS hospital, the Observer reports. Officially, the death of Dr Alan Massie, 27, remains a mystery but his parents are convinced it was caused by working long hours at Warrington District General Hospital, Cheshire.

A Church of England bishop will allow an Anglican clergyman to voice his protest at the 'heresy' of female ordination during the service to ordain London's first women priests next Saturday.
