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.

AUSTRALIAN SUPERMARKETS offer a wide choice of processed food such as bread and cereals with low sodium content - less than 250mg per 100g of product. This choice is not available in the UK where the average amount in bread in supermarkets is 400mg/100g. A well-known cereal manufacturer produces low-sodium cornflakes in Australia but only produces cornflakes with high sodium content (900mg/100g) for the UK market. Australia is years ahead of Britain in providing real choice of food for a healthy diet. When will Britain catch up?
