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.

Casting begins soon for a pounds 40m film about Yoko Ono's life with John Lennon. Beatles fans are apprehensive about the possibility that the film maybe Yoko's version of the story...

The Second Mrs Lennon

Imagine John as housewife

At home and baking bread

Imagine John in nightclub

With Kotex strapped on head

Imagine either version

It's easy if you try

And then secure the film rights

And watch the law suits fly

Imagine Sixties Yoko

As demon parvenue

Imagine stealing Beatle

Was fairly hard to do

Imagine British pop fans

In incandescent rage

To see their bete noir shrieking

In bag on centre-stage

Imagine all that money

It's hard to even try

Imagine all the rancour

That decades on won't die

Imagine film as method

To settle final score

But such ironic timing

Now that she's 64
