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.

Rosemary Conley's Ultimate Fat Burner VCI, pounds 12.99 (right) Rosemary Conley, joins eight "carefully selected" women (what were their prerequisites, one wonders?) to burn off the excesses of Christmas with two exercise programmes. There is also fatuous advice on how not to balloon at Christmas. HH

An Audience With Alf Garnett (18), Astrion, pounds 12.99 In a special edition considered too extreme for television, the flag-flyer of political incorrectness and legendary star of Til Death Do Us Part shares his feelings on Royalty, sex, booze and football. Old Git-ism is at least preferable to New Laddism. HHH

High, Wide and Hansen - A Footballers Nightmare (12) Carlton, pounds 12.99 Frayed tempers, referee fouls and a host of unfortunate cock-ups shape ex-Liverpool star Alan Hansen's collection of footballing nightmares. Brilliantly funny footage, but slightly marred by the irritating Kevin Connolly voice-over. HHH

Brookside: The Lost Weekend (18) Polygram, pounds 12.99 A specially-commissioned, feature-length edition released as a "stand- alone drama" that promises to "shock and entertain". So good in fact that Polygram have refused to hand out review copies in case we spoil the surprise.
