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.

A new animated Spice Girls film – including all five members, inluding Victoria Beckham – has been confirmed by Paramount Studios bosses.

The film will tell the story of the quintet uniting as superheroes.

Beckham alongside Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B will all lend their voices to the movie as well as some brand new songs.

“They are very involved,” the president of Paramount Animation has said, adding that girl band “had an idea [they'd] been developing”, as something of a passion project.

The film is due for release in 2020 and is part of a slate of new cartoon projects, including a new SpongeBob Squarepants movie.

It will be produced by 1990s music titan (and Spice Girls boss) Simon Fuller, and written by the team responsible for The House Bunny and Legally Blonde.

The Spice Girls’ first film, Spice World, was released in 1997.

The girl band's reunion tour has also been hit with complaints and demands for refunds, after persistent sound issues.

Millions of people attempted to purchase tickets for the Spice Girls’ long-awaited reunion tour when sales opened last November.
