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.Like all the best stand-ups, Alan Davies (left) is funny without even opening his mouth. Audiences find his very presence amusing. He is at his best taking the everyday to absurd extremes. He has fun, for instance, with the futility of Olympic events. There should be more to the long jump, he contends; officials should have "a load of toy cars buried in the sand, and you've got to develop an amusing scenario with them in under a minute." He goes on to riff on the idea of his cats capturing mice just to show him how fast the rodents can run. "Alan," they cry, "get a bucket and we'll do a wall of death."
