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.Meryl Streep picked up the Bafta for leading actress in, but managed to lose her shoe as she stepped up to the podium.
Luckily, Colin Firth was on hand to retrieve Streep's black stileto. The King's Speech actor rushed chivalrously over and replaced it onto the Iron Lady actresses' foot, before being rewarded with an affectionate kiss.
Watch footage of Streep's Cinderella moment (above).
