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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Buzz Lightyear's trademark cry of "To infinity…and beyond!" from Toy Story has topped a poll to find the UK’s favourite movie quote of all time.

More than 2,500 film fans sent their suggestions in to Radio Times, where editors collated the top ten.
Al Pacino's "Say hello to my little friend" as Tony Montana in Scarface came third on the list, with lines from Roy Schneider in Jaws and Clark Gable in Gone With The Wind placing fourth and fifth respectively.

"Therein, perhaps, lies a message for television programmers: the audience – or at least the thinking part of it, which I believe is greater than most programmers seem to acknowledge – is just as interested in the content and quality of the films themselves as they are in interviews with the stars."
A range of film genres were represented in readers' contributions, with quotes such as Sean Connery's "Bond. James Bond" and Humphrey Bogart's "Here's looking at you, kid" in Casablanca narrowly missing out on top spots.
