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.

AIR HAVE done a lot to enhance the reputation of French pop music in Britain. Described as a cross between Herbie Hancock and Art Garfunkel, you can expect the fluffiness of the tunes to turn into something much harder and more exciting when they play live, as seen in a recent appearance on Later with Jools Holland.

KICKING OFF the Finborough Theatre's "Discipline" season is a new production of Rodney Ackland's seminal adaptation of Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. The crime is a pointless murder of an old debt-collector, with the murderer seeing his expected punishment as a barometer of his own guilt and the debt-collector's worth. Last seen 60 years ago, Ackland skilfully transfers Dostoyevsky's stream-of-consciousness narrative to the stage, fully realising the books' complex exploration of morality.
