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.Luther was the most tweeted about programme on TV last night with many viewers voicing concern about what might be lurking under their beds as they headed upstairs after the BBC drama.
Although The Independent’s TV critic Tom Sutcliffe found the first episode to be ridden with murder detective clichés, most viewers at home seemed more preoccupied about not wanting to go up to their loft or use a blender again.
Whether you agree with Tom Sutcliffe or not, did you have to check under your bed last night- or were you more grateful than ever to have bought a divan? Take our poll above and leave your comments about the new series below.
