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.

During the short winter days, a cheap flight to the Caribbean is the stuff daydreams are made of. We’ve found some excellent deals with Virgin Atlantic, flying non-stop to Barbados in high season to make it a reality. Weekly departures from both London and Manchester to Bridgetown are currently available, with cocktails onboard to get the holiday started.
How to book
Google Flights makes it easy to find the dates on this one. Just enter your departure airport and destination (Bridgetown, Barbados), then filter the airlines to just show Virgin Atlantic. This will update the calendar and clearly show the cheapest dates to fly, which will be highlighted in green.
Once you’ve chosen your dates from those available, either proceed to book the itinerary directly on Virgin Atlantic’s website, or go to Skyscanner, re-enter your itinerary to see which travel agent is offering the flight at the best price, and book with the agent of your choice.
