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.Now a quintet, the Yorkshire subversives once renowned for dousing the Deputy PM have recast themselves as inheritors of the activist folk tradition of Leon Rosselson.
It’s a guise that fits them: they’ve clearly worked hard on their harmonies to carry off a cappella pieces like “Sing About Love”.
And their aim is as true as ever, too, with acid critiques of industrial alienation (“I Wish That They’d Sack Me”), and tributes to Bertolt Brecht (“(Words Flew) Right Around The World”) and a Mexican revolutionary (“El Fusilado”), and best of all, a disconcertingly jaunty evocation of internet forums as fertile ground for sinister stalkers (“Add Me”).
