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.

HARRY HILL (right) used to be a doctor, a profession as far removed from his unique brand of comedy as you could imagine. After making his name with a wider audience on commercial TV, Hill has just been poached by the Beeb with the promise of a prime-time slot. Until then, fans of his surreal humour will have to make do with his superior live stand-up.

BOOKING HAS now opened for the West End transfer of Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs. The revival of David Halliwell's 1965 play, currently sold out at the Hampstead Theatre, stars Ewan McGregor as a disgraced art school student who forms the Party of Dynamic Erection, and indulges in dangerous delusions of grandeur. The sell-out show has been praised for both Denis Lawson's beautifully detailed direction and splendid performances from the entire cast, not just McGregor.
Comedy Theatre, Panton Street, London SW1 (0171-369 1731) opens 21 Jan
