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.Ukip's leader has been left red-faced after twice getting the name of his debate opponent wrong.
Paul Nuttall repeatedly referred to Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood as "Natalie".
It is not clear whether Mr Nuttall was confusing Ms Wood with Natalie Wood, the US actress, or Natalie Bennett, the former leader of the Green Party.
He made the gaffe during the course of the ITV election leaders' debate – which was boycotted by the big two parties.
The Ukip leader apologised.
Ms Wood and Mr Nuttall were joined the Lib Dems' Tim Farron, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, and Green leader Caroline Lucas for the two-hour showdown.
