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 trick played by this hit semi-improvised sitcom is to make you sympathise with a character who should make you sick.

Larry David – a heightened version of the real thing – is a phenomenally rich television writer (the co-creator of 'Seinfeld'), with ample leisure time to play golf in the Californian sunshine, and yet because he talks himself into more excruciating situations than any sitcom hero since Basil Fawlty, you don't resent it. No wonder Ricky Gervais and Jack Dee are such brazen imitators.
