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.

PLAID CYMRU has no candidate in the Brecon and Radnor constituency because its chosen representative, David Petersen, messed up his nomination form. In the space for party he inserted the word "artist" thinking he was being asked what he did for a living. The Welsh nationalists in the area are now referred to as "the artists formerly known as Plaid Cymru".

WILLIAM WALLACE entered the Scottish Parliament elections yesterday, with no sign of waging the kind of bloody campaign associated with his 13th-century namesake. This Wallace is a mild-mannered family man - despite the blue face paint and leather bodice.
