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.

Aside from a lot of teenage girls tweeting #onedirectionarewinners there was talk of Emilie Sandé's strange accent, people annoyed with those tweeting 'who is Ben Howard?' and a general feeling that the awards played it too safe this year.

The only way to save this would be to get Grace Jones on with a hula hoop. #Brits2013

@caitlinmoran

This is, officially, A Cultural Lull #brits2013

@HylandIan

Dear ITV, any chance we can just go straight to News At Ten now?#BRITs2013 #brits

@stefanohat

I'm not a #OneDirection hater, but that was truly gobsmackingly dreadful sacrilege #onewayoranother #brits2013 and poor#Undertones too

@GarethMalone

#corden I think A-Levels are VERY important. Just saying

@HylandIan

On tonight's evidence James Corden will soon be appearing in “One Man, Two Jokes” on Broadway #brits

‏@mistermistry

Somewhere down south, a provincial branch of Wetherspoons is missing its “banter” tonight #corden #BRITsAwards2013

‏@liamwaterloo

And Harry Styles watched Robbie Williams thinking, “Oh God. This is going to be me, isn't it? Oh God.” #BRITs2013

‏@TweetsByAsh

It's like that uncle that always takes to the dancefloor at a wedding#daddancing #robbie #BRITs2013

‏@Yeloop

*Checks watch* Well Twitter, I make that an hour before the Emilie Sande jokes start.

@enzo201

Our next award is a special one...it's the Emili Sande Award for most overrated Artist of the Year.

‏@boyofletch

Ben Howard - like Ed Sheeran, pleasant but not by any means awe inspiring. #brits2013

@thomascoddldn

Feel like I'm cheating on becks how much I'm loving JT #jt #BRIT2013

@_Paddy_White_

Making jokes out of Frank's sexuality in 2013. The joke, seriously, is on you. #brits2013

‏@JosephStash

Yeah, Bryan Ferry's still cooler than everyone at the Brits.#BRITs2013

Grumpy Cat ‏@ItsTheGrumpyCat

Friendly reminder that Adele and Taylor Swift are the same age yet one of them has a child and another is mentally stuck in middle school.

@LiamPayneRocks

it must be awkward for taylor swift to have to perform in front of her 83503 exes

‏@gemmaoaten

that's a table and table cloth she's wearing right? And the top symbolizes the paper or lace napkins? I'm confused... #brits2013#taylor
