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.

Most men would prefer to wear casual clothes at work rather than a formal suit and tie, a new survey has found.

One in three men still have to wear a formal grey or blue suit at work, with just 13 per cent allowed a discreet splash of colour. Formal suits were least popular in the North and South-west and most liked in the South- east, the poll of 800 workers for shaving company Philishave found. The most conservative men dressers were in the South-east and the Midlands, where 40 per cent were required to wear a suit, white shirt and tie.
