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.

Moors murderer Myra Hindley was yesterday transferred from Durham prison to a medium-security jail. The Prison Service said that she was moved from Durham prison to Highpoint in Suffolk.

A Prison Service spokesman said: "Myra Hindley has today been transferred from HMP Durham to Highpoint prison in Suffolk. She is being housed in closed female accommodation suitable for a life-sentence prisoner. It is an operational decision taken by the Prison Service and it is a routine move for a life-sentence prisoner." News of the move provoked last week anger among relatives of her victims.
