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.

Theresa May sent herself up at the start of her keynote conference speech by dancing on to the stage to the music of 1970s Swedish pop group Abba.

The prime minister strutted out to the tune of ‘Dancing Queen’, smiling and drawing cheers from the crowds.

She recently grabbed headlines when she repeatedly danced at diplomatic events on a trip to Africa.

Initially she was filmed dancing with schoolchildren in Cape Town on the first day of her visit.

The prime minister is seen shuffling left and right and smiling at the pupils who are dancing opposite to her.

Two days later Ms May showed off more of her moves when she met a group of scouts in Kenya.

In the footage, which was shared widely on social media, Ms May is seen copying a routine being performed by the group opposite her, raising her hands to the sky.
