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.

There's a pleasing arrogance to Glasvegas, and it manifests itself in their decision to end their first full year as an overground band with a Christmas album.

The sheer, shiver-inducing beauty of this six-track mini-LP is almost more of a shock than their debut. The Crystals-related title of the album, the Darlene Love-inspired "Please Come Back Home", and indeed the whole concept acknowledges Glasvegas' debt to Phil Spector. It's scary to imagine what this band is capable of giving us through 2009.

Pick of the Album: Baby please don't come home: 'Fuck You, It's Over'
