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.

AN APOLOGY is due to David Clark, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Pandora was in error when reporting two days ago that Clark was in the lift that broke down along with six hacks. In fact, he was spared that fate; the hacks were on their way to a briefing that Clark was holding on the Millennium Bug. However, let us hope technology does not land Clark in deeper trouble. He recently showed off his new computerised "red box" to an all-party group and showed its security feature that demands one of his fingerprints before it will open. Unfortunately, he was not yet sure exactly which finger it took. One of the group thought the unthinkable: "What if he was kidnapped? He could lose all ten digits."

GUESS what Keith Richards requested prior to his last stay at the groovy Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood? Yes, your mind races. And you would be wrong, because the hardest of the rockers asked for exercise equipment, including a treadmill. Apparently, he used the healthy gear every day during his stay. Keith a fitness freak? Hey, you, get off my cloud.
