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.Every damn fool thing that you think nobody will utter will sure enough be uttered the next day. Swift would have been defeated by America.

author of the forthcoming The
Culture of Complaint, Guardian
I don't consider myself a pessimist at all. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel completely soaked to the skin.

The culture has changed. The Eighties were about form, not content. Radio is about content and ideas, not form.

I'll speak for the same length of time as the average English batsman lasted at the crease in India - five seconds.

Women write and say how awful I am - silly hair, silly face, silly teeth. I don't blame them. I am quite silly.
