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 former treasurer of Northern Rock, who retired with a £2.5m pension pot when the bank collapsed but was racked with remorse over its decline, has been found dead at his home.

The body of Keith Currie, 56, was discovered at his house in Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, police said last night.

It was reported that his marriage broke down earlier this year and he had become withdrawn while suffering from depression and alcohol problems.
