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.The music biz - a grubby trade
The province of the parvenu
A mecca for the mountebank
The newly minted badly made
It's quite declasse - nay taboo
For any parliamentary man
To come up with the kind of plan
Where party politics might yoke

The music moguls find on laps
All kinds of invites have arrived
In recognition of their sound
More ringing tills than songs perhaps
These overtures which smack a bit
Of public school boys slumming it
May culminate in nothing more
Than modifying some contract law
Let's eavesdrop on the whole charade:
"Ah, Mr Slag. How do you do?"
"You're fond of Jungle then, PM?"
I heard you liked your bass-sound hard."
"So Tony's into ambient too?"
Can you secure the Internet?"
Think of the PRS we'll get."
"Relax, my son, you can't go wrong
If Noel writes your campaign song..."
