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.Fire destroyed a terrace of listed buildings in Marlborough, Wiltshire. Gary Watts, 30, a fireman, discovered the fire and evacuated 50 guests and staff from the Castle and Ball Hotel, where he had been running a disco. Salvage teams are trying to reclaim building materials from the terrace in the High Street, which was built with the proceeds of a nation-wide appeal after a fire in the 17th century that destroyed vitually the whole town.
