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.

BING-BONG! - the latest collaboration between Keith Waterhouse and Ned Sherrin - has started its tour in Chester. Starring Dennis Waterman (right) and Patrick Mower, it is a comedy about the intricacies of comedy. Whether the on-stage writing duo Bell and Banks are victims or perpetrators of their brand of humour, the play exposes the slights, slanders, trials and tribulations of their creative world. It's an amusing and insightful investigation into the bleakness beneath their banter.
The Chester Gateway Theatre (01244-340 392) to 27 Mar. Tour continues to 19 Jun

EIGHTIES POP SENSATION Howard Jones's nationwide tour started last month with a sold-out London date. The synthesiser genius, who sold seven million records at the height of his fame, has just released a new album, People. Like New Order and Art of Noise, Howard Jones pioneered pop-electronica, but this time round, the sound has been replaced by up-to-date reggae vibes.
