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.

EastEnders stars were in the news: Sean Maguire, who plays Aidan, first for being punched by a stranger who hated his screen character and, more happily, for being voted third 'sexiest dude alive' in a teen magazine; also occupying tabloid space was Mike Reid, who plays Frank Butcher, for having a comedy show in Norfolk cancelled when only 29 tickets were sold.

Elsewhere, Holmfirth, setting for Last of the Summer Wine, hit the news after hordes descended on the hamlet in search of magic mushrooms; Rolf Harris's new album was rejected by his record company for sounding like a karaoke record; and Vic Reeves grew out his dyed black hair so that his brown locks would match his daughter's.
