Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Foo Fighters are returning to the O2 Arena for this year's BRIT Awards ceremony.

The US rock band will perform live at the awards on 21 February alongside acts including Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Sam Smith and Dua Lipa.

Frontman Dave Grohl said: "How the f**k have we never played at the BRIT Awards before!?!?!

"We've had a ton of firsts over in the UK... from our first festival (Reading '95) to our first headlining arena tour (2002) to our first stadium tour (2008)... you guys have always been so good to us. Why not add 2018 BRIT Awards to the list??!?!? Let's make some noise. See you there."

Nominations for the BRIT Awards are being announcing this Saturday 13 January, live on ITV show The BRITs Are Coming from 5.45pm.
