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 Sunday papers continue to be led by scenes of disorder across the UK following the Southport stabbings.

The Sunday Times carries comments from the director of public prosecutions warning that the worst offending protesters could face up to 10 years in prison if they are charged with rioting.

The justice secretary is set to warn the widespread arrests of rioters will hamper efforts to repair the crisis-hit justice system, according to The Observer.

The Sunday Mirror and Sunday People both lead with the parents of Southport victim Bebe King revealing her older sister, Genie, witnessed the attack and managed to escape.

The Sunday Telegraph reports pupils will be taught how to spot extremist content and fake news online following last week’s riots.

Elsewhere, The Independent leads with Britain owing £47 billion in outstanding compensation claims.

And the Daily Star Sunday says a ghost expert has claimed she summoned the spirit of late Motorhead singer Lemmy.
