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.

Christmas is no time for messing with the formula, but just because that happens to be the case doesn't mean you have to start reaching for the Cliff Richard records.

Give seasonal thanks, then, for this follow-up to 2002's Maybe This Christmas, a charity record from the Nettwerk music group that teamed Bright Eyes, Jack Johnson and Coldplay. This time out, we get Rufus, Avril, Badly Drawn Boy and the strangest version of "White Christmas" ever, run through the psychedelic ringer by Flaming Lips. Good will to alt men, etc.
