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.A video of London Mayor Boris Johnson getting heckled by an angry mob in Bristol has been posted online.
In the short clip members of the crowd shouted at the politician calling him "Tory scum" and saying yesterday's visit was a "marketing exercise".
In response to the jeers, Johnson swore at the hecklers labelling them "lefty f*****s".
Johnson was visiting the city in order to support the Tory candidate for the Bristol mayoral election Geoff Gollop and Ken Maddock, the Conservative candidate running for Police Commissioner.
He was later seen trying to pacify the protesters and encouraging them to vote for Gollop and Maddock but to no avail.
