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.

CAR OF THE WEEK

VOLVOS LOST their green wellie/Labrador/suburban school-run image with the arrival of the T5 in 1993. Not only had 850 series Volvos lost their trademark sharp edges, they now had a top speed approaching 150mph. Most buyers, including the police, ordered them as traditional estate cars, but the rarely seen saloons were just as exciting and quick. Under-rated and ignored, they are worth some pounds 2,000 less than the estate. Long-time Volvo specialist Phil Whitaker Cars (01753 647777) has a P-reg example for just pounds 15,000.
