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.Jeremy Corbyn has been spotted using some slightly more unorthodox methods to pump up a rally this week.
The embattled Labour leader has taken a very serious approach to politics thus far, standing firmly on the other end of spectrum to the (arguably too) press-op friendly Boris Johnson.
More light-hearted interviews were once rejected and requests to tell a joke met with a deadpan “no”.
But there has been a marked change in his character since becoming the leader of the Labour party. We’ve been treated to dad jokes, an interview with Joey Essex, an appearance on The Last Leg (including a skit) and now an impromptu dance.
Mr Corbyn was spotted rocking out in Sunderland in a successful attempt to rouse attendees supporting his second leadership campaign.
There was some serious business on the agenda of course. He used his rally to announce the creation of a ‘Bank of the North’ investment bank with the potential, he claims, to unlock 100,000 extra jobs.
