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.

Z Berg is, without a doubt, a gifted songwriter and a singer of some charm.

That she chooses to waste such skills on a project such as the Like is bewildering. This Mark Ronson-produced, LA-based girl group are as sweet as a Krispy Kreme doughnut and about as nutritional. A love of 1960s pop and what they still, charmingly, refer to as "British Invasion sounds" is all very well. But just making the lyrics a bit saucy cannot be spun into moving things on and you really would be better off going back to the source.
