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.

From the writers and stars of Channel 4's Peep Show, what amounts to an extended episode, plus magic tricks. There's no obvious reason why this shouldn't be on television - it's not as if David Mitchell and Robert Webb, playing former magic partners who parted company after an accident with the guillotine trick, are expanding their range - but there are some good jokes scattered around. The best are delivered by Steve Edge, as a particularly egotistical and nasty magician, who greets an unresponsive Channel Island audience with "Bloody hell, you gave the Nazis a warmer welcome than that."
