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.

Gaun yersel ya beauty! Another year, another corking line-up to deflect the attention, for a wee while, from Glasgow's noisier neighbour.

Among the big hitters rolling into town are Dylan Moran, Harry Hill, Sean Lock, Josie Long, Jimmy Carr, Al Murray and Mark Thomas – pitching up with his incredibly touching tour around his father, Bravo Figaro.

Local heroine Susan Calman's here, too, trying out a fresh batch of candid thoughts – and a trip out to the left field yields a great many delights, among them slightly unnerving comedy hip-hop duo The Rubberbandits and Sanderson Jones – who'll only let you in if he's flogged you a ticket in person.
