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.

"He's a self-confessed chicken thief, and all-around sleazeball," is how scoffing Josh described the Tramp in The Last Days of Disco.

In truth, the alpha-male hound, who falls for a pampered cocker spaniel, is more loveable than that in Disney's charming animation. The mutt lives by his wits on the streets, until he becomes smitten with prim Lady. There's lots to recommend this gorgeous romance – the Siamese cats, dopey hound Trust, who has lost his sense of smell – but the scene where Lady and Tramp share a plate of spaghetti, coming nearer to a kiss, to Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke's "Bella Notte" takes some beating.
