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.

Although Victoria Beckham won’t be a part of the Spice Girls tour, it looks as if she’ll still be dropping by to support the pop group.

During an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, Emma Bunton said: “Victoria said she’s going to come, but I’m not sure where she’s sitting. Those stadiums are big places and I’m not sure if she’ll be able to get down to us on time.”

She also explained that she always knew – alongside bandmates Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, and Geri Halliwell – that Beckham wouldn’t return for any future reunions.

“We all knew it wouldn’t happen again after the Olympics, the five of us together,” she said. “We feel really strong as a four though.”

Beckham previously admitted that she’ll feel “left out” of the forthcoming tour, which is set to kick off in Cardiff on 27 May.

“I’m excited to see it. And I’m sure when I’m there and they are on stage, there will be a part of me that feels a bit left out,” she said. “Because even after all this, a part of me will always be a Spice Girl.”

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

Demand was “off the charts”, according to Andrew Parsons, Ticketmaster’s managing director. They will play sell-out shows at venues, including London’s Wembley Stadium, until 15 June.
