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.

Labour's lead has risen by 5 points to 21 over the Conservatives, according to an ICM poll - the first since the Budget - for today's Guardian.

The poll, which shows Labour at 47 per cent, the Tories at 26, and the Liberal Democrats at 23, suggests that the Budget has been much less popular in the country than among Conservative backbenchers. The Tory figure is the lowest for 12 years.
