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.The Prime Minister was left on the spot during a television appearance on Friday after an angry member of the audience tore into her for refusing to answer questions.
On the BBC's Question Time special Theresa May was asked why anyone should believe anything she said after a litany of U-turns and refusals to answer questions.
The Prime Minister hit back, however, saying she had agreed to come on the Question Time programme and take audience questions.
Another audience member later said she believed that this did not make up for Ms May's refusal to debate Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn head-to-head, however.
Ms May sent Home Secretary Amber Rudd to debate with opposition party leaders earlier this week. She refused to say whether she had even watched the encounter when questioned the next day.
