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.At least someone's getting excited about the royal wedding. The Royal Mail is to issue some special stamps to mark the occasion, just as they did for the Prince of Wales' first marriage in 1981. No doubt, the designs are being finalised, the printing presses readied, and the collectors are getting their orders in already. They will join mugs, tea towels and other sycophantic trinkets on the sideboards of Britain's dwindling band of monarchists. But hang on; wasn't the marriage of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles supposed to prevent embarrassments like having her head on the stamps? Once again, a first-class mess.
