Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
It's the film that brought the phrase "Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult," into the national consciousness.
Peter Capaldi returns as Malcolm Tucker, the thinly-disguised Alastair Campbell comms Svengali, as do most of the cast of The Thick of It, the acclaimed television show on which this political satire is based (the plot, if it's possible to simply describe it, involves the machinations of a network of American and British politicos wrangling over how to go to war). The extras show how diverse the cast is; Tom Hollander the "thoroughly nice bloke"; Gina McKee the thoughtful "proper actor"; Capaldi the consummate darling.
