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.

They'll fax the contracts over

The cheque is in the post

...Uove al Fiorentino

You'll have it by October

About three weeks at most

Another drop of vino?

The Spanish lost the sleeve-art

The single cost ten grand

Or seafood canneloni?

We haven't got the money

To pay the actual band

He's having lunch with Sony

They'll be the next big Oasis

A Camden showcase gig

Two main course Tortellinis

A lodda people think so.

They might be very big

And just the four Martinis

A limited edition

And twelve-inch giveaway

A bottle of J.D.

I haven't seen the plunger

He's still on holiday

Oh...Just gone half past three

He did some deals at MIDEM

We flew Club Class, Air France

Is this a pepper mill?

The band are still playing Butlins

There wasn't an advance

Some coffee and the bill.

Well yeah, but thass musiciansh

A most ungrateful bunch

No, grain an' grape don't mix.

Bes' not to give `em money

Jus' take `em out to lunssh

Oh...Twenny-five to six.
