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.Adele will say anything on stage won’t she. She’ll pause during ‘Hello’ to tell the crowd how she reheats tea in the microwave or about the time she shat on a hen.
It’s weird, then, that her tweets are very clean and nice and uncontroversial and retweetable.
If it seems like they’re actually written/approved by her PR team, it’s because they are.
“I’m not allowed access to my own Twitter because I’m quite mouthy and I say the wrong thing a lot of the time,” she told an audience at a concert in Australia. “So they took that privilege away from me.”
She’s found a workaround, though.
“I was looking on Twitter last night. They don’t know I have a secret account. Well obviously they do now because I said that. By ‘they’ I mean my management.”
Queue an enormous fan search for her dummy account, which will undoubtedly involve more personnel and more thorough research than the entire Brexit process.
