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.USERS of the newly opened stretch of the French A26 autoroute from Troyes to Chalons-sur-Marne should make sure that they do not have to stop for petrol.
Theo Steel of Stroud says that last month at the Sommesous service station, queues for petrol were so long that it took them more than 30 minutes to get to the pumps - and there was a similar delay at the Leclerc service station north of Dijon on the A31.
'The A26 seems capable of getting you to Dijon from Calais in under five hours, even on peak days - but not if you have to buy petrol] I hope something will be done to improve matters before the Channel tunnel is completed.'
