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.

Lord Sugar began this year’s series of The Apprentice by complaining he had seen “all the usual bullshit before”. Well, he has.

A number of candidates throughout the ninth series have born a striking resemblance to one another.

This year’s Francesca MacDuff-Varley (above) looks the spitting image of 2010 winner Stella English, who recently lost a case against Lord Sugar for unfair dismissal.

Jason Leech (the one with the eyebrows) from the current series also looks like Alex Epstein from series six.

Other contestants appear to have been hired for sharing a common ‘look’, be that arrogant gobs Stuart Baggs and Paul Tulip, privately-educated London boys Michael Sophocles and Simon Ambrose, or posh blondes Katie Hopkins and Lucinda Ledgerwood.
