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.Britain has become Twitter’s biggest market after America, with UK sales more than doubling to $43m (£27m) in the first nine months of the year.
The social media site’s explosive growth in Britain means it generated more than 10 per cent of group sales from the UK in the last quarter – the first time it has hit that milestone in any country.
The fact Twitter makes a tenth of its revenue from the UK is significant because its bigger social media rival, Facebook, has never got such a large proportion of its turnover from Britain. The details emerged after the company updated its statement announcing plans for a $15bn flotation later this autumn.
