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 BBC's latest fly-on-the-wall documentary, we learn today, is about the Victoria and Albert Museum - and it reveals an array of strange personalities more curious than the museum's curios.

So where can misfits find a home? There's only so much room at the V&A. Well, they could always sign up for the Referendum Party. Any party that counts Sir James Goldsmith as its leader, opens its doors to Lord McAlpine, and then proves to be a potential haven for Geoffrey Boycott, clearly has space for everyone. But who would be a fly on that wall?
