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.

One of the most shocking moments of Game of Thrones season 5 was (spoiler ahead, but why wouldn't you have watched it by now?) when Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre had darling little Princess Shireen burnt on a pyre in the hope it would magically help them win the Iron Throne.

It of course spelled the exit for actress Kerry Ingram, but she isn't bitter about it, making light of her character's swift departure at what looks to be a bonfire or barbecue over the weekend.

"Oh ffs not again…" she wrote, posing behind flames.

Shireen was not the most mourned departure last season, that honour goes to Jon Snow, who many believe could still return from the dead in season 6.

First the fact that Kit Harrington kept his long hair post-filming provoked rumours, and now they've been stoked by HBO releasing a line of 'dead character' dolls which doesn't feature Jon.

We have a long wait to find out whether he really is 'deader than dead', as a GoT director claimed, with season 6 not expected to arrive until April 2016.
