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.The goings-on within the Royal Family of late have provided all the pre-publicity PALLAS 2 (10pm C4) needs. The second series of this amusingly puerile satire - made in the style of The Staggering Stories of Ferdinand de Bargos - opens with the Queen doing a runner. Fed-up with the 'royal parasites' and Prince Philip's new career as a cab-driver, she leaves a note at the Palace for Prince Charles: 'The milk's in the fridge, the corgis need feeding and the colour needs trooping.' Charles immediately starts practising his lines: 'The name's Bond, Charles Bond. Licensed to stand around for hours with my hands behind my back.' The voice-overs are clever, but what is really impressive is the show's research, which has boiled down 100 hours of news footage into about 60 minutes.
