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.

Though Nick Clegg may have forgotten how to attract voters, the Deputy Prime Minister’s wife has not forgotten how she wooed him, revealing to a Spanish magazine that it was his willingness to learn how to cook omelettes and take up Sevillana dancing that swept her off her feet.

Speaking to Telva, Miriam Clegg said she viewed her future husband signing up to “try his hand” at her dancing classes as a “declaration of love”.

Ms Clegg, 44, said: “To put the icing on the cake, the first film that Nick saw in Brussels in Spanish was Wait For Me In Heaven,” a comedy.

She said she loves football and knows the line-ups of Arsenal and Barcelona.
