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.

I voted strongly for the Prime Minister.

Virginia Bottomley, former Secretary of State for Health

I rather enjoyed that vote.

Norman Lamont, having voted for John Redwood

I thought it would be wise to vote for myself.

John Redwood

The people I vote for usually lose.

Teddy Taylor, who voted for John Redwood

It's an unfortunate outcome because it's right in the grey area. The Prime Minister has won but a third of the party don't want him.

Lord Tebbit, former Tory chairman and Redwood supporter

I still love the guy.

Gail Redwood after the result

The Prime Minister won fair and square under the rules.

John Redwood

We have made our choice, and it is clear cut.

John Major
