"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."
"Results are slowly starting to come in after voters across London went to the polls on Thursday, with all of the capital's 32 boroughs up for election. The mayors of Tower Hamlets, Croydon, Newham, Hackney and Lewisham will also be elected today. Here's an overview of the results in London so far: The capital has been seen as a Labour stronghold in recent years, with the party holding majority control in 21 councils."
"Sir Keir Starmer's Labour has declined in popularity since becoming the governing party in 2024, with polling of younger and more left-leaning voters suggesting this dynamic has benefited the Green Party most of all. The party, led by Zack Polanski, will be hoping to push up its councillor count in the capital, holding only 49 seats heading into the election. Pre-election polling by YouGov suggested this number could skyrocket, and that Reform could take the highest share in three councils. Neither party has ever previously topped the poll on any council in London."
