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.It took two days, but Jeremy Corbyn has finished reshuffling his shadow cabinet. In the end, two people were sacked: Michael Dugher, and Pat McFadden. Both were dismissed on grounds of disloyalty.
The other major change was moving Maria Eagle from shadow defence secretary to shadow culture secretary – a brief abruptly vacated by Mr Dugher.
She was replaced by Emily Thornberry, the neighbouring Islington MP of Mr Corbyn and an opponent of nuclear weapons.
