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.It's the film that brought the phrase "Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult," into the national consciousness.
Peter Capaldi returns as Malcolm Tucker, the thinly-disguised Alastair Campbell comms Svengali, as do most of the cast of The Thick of It, the acclaimed television show on which this political satire is based (the plot, if it's possible to simply describe it, involves the machinations of a network of American and British politicos wrangling over how to go to war). The extras show how diverse the cast is; Tom Hollander the "thoroughly nice bloke"; Gina McKee the thoughtful "proper actor"; Capaldi the consummate darling.
