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.

What's the secret to Danny Dyer's success?

Over the last decade, the UFO believer has gone from playing cockney geezers in straight-to-DVD misfires (Jack Said, Basement, Malice in Wonderland) to being a wise-cracking national treasure with a primetime BBC history show.

Joining the cast of Eastenders in 2013 was arguably the biggest turning point for Dyer, but there was something else the 41-year-old Brit did a year before that had everyone talking: he joined Twitter.

The social media platform proved the perfect place for the straight-talking, no-nonsense British blokey-bloke to speak his mind, offering the world a daily 140-character length look into his mind.

Dyer has only gone from strength to strength since, appearing on talk shows, delivering Channel 4's alternative Christmas speech, and giving two excellent acceptance speeches at the National Television Awards.

Below are 32 of his best quotes from the last decade.
