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.

Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes are to bring their Jay & Silent Bob tour to the UK, performing in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Bristol.

The characters first appeared in Smith's movies Clerks and Mallrats, but got their own standalone film in 2001 with Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

They return this time alongside Family Guy actor Ralph Garman, starring in their first ever cartoon Jay & Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie.

The Hollywood Babble-on Tour will visit Birmingham 02 Academy on June 29, London's Eventim Apollo on July 1, Bristol's Colston Hall on July 2 and Manchester 02 Apollo on July 3.

Each venue will feature a different element of the tour, and all will see an exclusive podcast performance and a Q&A with Smith and Mewes.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, 14 March at 9am.

Smith's next feature film is called Tusk, a horror packed with Kubrickian symmetry which takes as its source material a Gumtree ad in which a homeowner offered a living situation free of charge, if the lodger agreed to dress as a walrus.
