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 day has arrived - the day where Tinie Tempah, Sadie Frost, and Dame Edna Everage all cameo in a film together.

This could only be for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie and the cameos won't stop there either; they'll be joined by approximately 57 other names from the world of celebrity.

An extensive number of cameos have been confirmed to show up in the film version of the beloved BBC sitcom which will reunite Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as the hard-drinking fashionistas Edina and Patsy in a film version of the beloved BBC sitcom.

These include (take a deep breath) musicians Ella Eyre, Foxes and La Roux, TV personalities Christopher Biggins, Graham Norton and Jeremy Paxman and models Abbey Clancy, Kate Moss and Suki Waterhouse.

The 60 confirmed cameos will also include Glee actor Chris Colfer, fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, and comedian Robert Webb.

Dawn French - one-half of Saunders' comedy duo French & Saunders - will appear as well as Game of Thrones actor Gwendoline Christie and DJ Nick Grimshaw.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie follows the duo as their high life crumbles following an incident at a fashion launch party. Fleeing to the French Riviera with no money, they come up with a plan to escape so they can, once more, live the high life.

The film will be released on 1 July.
