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.

BBC's wildly successful Sunday-night entertainment is certainly preferable to the cloying Lark Rise to Candleford and it doesn't flinch at portraying domestic abuse in late 1950s Poplar.

However, this superior soap about the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House is still defiantly worthy and faintly patronising. Here, Jenny (played by the winning Jessica Raine) and her fellow angels (including Miranda Hart and Pam Ferris) tackle Swedish cargo ships, tuberculosis and quite a bit of cake.
