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.

Napoleon are a flamboyant eccentric soul-pop troupe from Sweden whose 10 members have an average age of 22.

They're exuberant like a puppy with its tongue out, admit to influences from Dexys to R Kelly, borrow lyrics from the Smiths and Gladys Knight, but remind me primarily of unjustly forgotten 1990s heroes Orlando. It's fair to say they make Alphabeat sound like Joy Division and will be musical Marmite to many, although their flavour is closer to strawberry jam.

Pick of the album: The gloriously titled 'I Try To Despise the Ugly People...'
