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.

Jimmy Tarbuck (above) is enjoying something of a post-Alternative renaissance, hosting his own chat show and being accorded that ultimate badge of cred, a guest manager's slot on Fantasy Football. His wisecracking live act isn't half bad, either. Congress Theatre, Eastbourne (01323 41200) Sun

The Sitcom Festival Aspiring Richard Curtises show off their wares in this innovative season at the Riverside Studios. See p23

Parsons and Naylor's Brand New Pigbag Listeners to Radio 5's Straight Up will be aware of the double act's appealingly off-kilter humour, seen in this try-out for Edinburgh. Hen and Chickens, London (0171-704 2001) Fri-Sat
