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.Bernie Ecclestone has reiterated his desire to see a grand prix in London, saying: "It is no joke."
Plans for a race on a 5.1km circuit taking in sights including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Trafalgar Square were unveiled last month.
The event was seen by many as nothing more than a publicity stunt for sponsors Santander, but Formula One supremo Ecclestone insists he is pressing ahead with the idea of a London Grand Prix in some form.
"We are getting on with it," he told the Guardian. "It is no joke, 100% completely no joke."
Ecclestone also suggested the sport could help to fund the race should it happen.
"With the way things are, maybe we would front it and put the money up for it," he said.
"If we got the okay and everything was fine, I think we could do that."
