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.

Ronan Keating is supporting his son following his Love Island debut.

The Boyzone singer’s son Jack is one of the six new boys to enter the villa as part of the ITV2 show’s Casa Amor twist.

Ahead of his arrival, Dubliner Jack, 23, told ITV his dad, whom he described as his “best mate”, was “buzzing for me”.

Ronan showed he was backing his son’s decision to join the series after sharing his son’s Instagram post annoucning his arrival on the series, with the caption: “Let’s go.”

He also reshared wife Storm’s Instagram story, which showed the family preparing to watch Jack on the series.

Storm wrote: “The cat’s finally out of the bag! Delighted we don’t have to keep this secret anymore. Excited (and nervous!) for Jack but hopefully he finds his match in the villa of loooove.”

Jack’s mum Yvonne Vonnolly expressed her excitement over Jack’s arrival in the villa, writing: “Love Island has been providing the entertainment and bringing the drama this season.

“Just when I thought I can’t take anymore excitement my son Jack Keating is heading in to Casa Amor tonight. (It was a hard secret to keep!!)”
