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.

It's probably a great time to refresh your memory on The Walking Dead considering season 7 begins tomorrow. Fortunately, British actor John Cleese is on hand to help.

The Fawlty Towers star has - for some bizarre reason that we're not complaining about - recapped the first six seasons of the show in four short minutes.

It's a lovingly tongue-in-cheek look at the characters and events that have shaped AMC's zombie drama since it began in 2010.

In the clip, Cleese describes lead character Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as "Clint Eastwood but a bit more sensitive" while fan favourite Daryl (Norman Reedus) is branded a "violent little sweetheart."

Season 7's premiere episode - titled 'The Day Will Come When You Won't Be' - is set to reveal who Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) killed in the closing moments of season 6. You can find a list of all the candidates here.

You can watch The Walking Dead Season 7 with a NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass for just £6.99 per month.
