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.JOANNA LUMLEY has only just replaced her image of the high-kicking, Seventies siren Purdey with the heavy-drinking high-hairdo'ed Patsy when it seems the Purdey pudding-basin haircut is on the verge of a comeback.
At last week's Paris shows, the model Amber Valletta had had her blonde tresses teased into a page-boy cut that smacked of The New Avengers meets choirboy Aled Jones (at least, as he used to look).
Valletta's roller-brush blow-dry struck fear into the hearts of many who spent hours rolling their hair round the back of a brush the first time around, which of course she didn't - in 1976, she was still in diapers and anyway, The New Avengers wasn't a big deal in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Neither, apparently, was Aled Jones. 'Aled Who?' drawled Ms Valletta.
But the bigger question; does this mean that in 20 years' time we'll be sporting spun sugar Patsy hairdos? Fashion folk take note: the new series of Absolutely Fabulous starts tonight on BBC1 at 9.30pm.
