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.The line-up for The Great British Bake Off's charity special, The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off, has been announced.
20 stars will gather together as they desperately try to avoid the curse of the soggy bottom and earn the fabled Paul Hollywood handshake.
Each episode will see four celebrities compete over three rounds - the usual signature, technical, and showstopper challenges - in a bid to be crowned Star Baker.
Chatty Man's Alan Carr, Spandau Ballet member turned actor Martin Kemp, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher, and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson will all compete.
Hollywood and Prue Leith will be back to judge the results, alongside hosts Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig returning to provide the usual commentary. The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off will air on Channel 4 later this year.
