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.

Tonight the finalists of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing will perform beneath the glitterball for the last time.

Simon Webbe, Caroline Flack, Mark Wright and Frankie Bridge perform with three routines with their professional dance partners before the champion is announced at 8.50pm.

We will be rating their fancy footwork, choreography and bravery as the real judges collate their scores (will there be anything but nines and 10s on a night like this?) on our liveblog.

With previous bookies’ favourite Pixie Lott having lost the dance off against Blue bandmember Webbe last week, the competition is now wide open.

Please allow a moment for the blog to load...

X Factor presenter Flack is the current favourite. But as Len Goodman and the other judges keep repeating the standard is higher than ever this year.

Who will lift the Glitterball trophy?
