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.

"Caviare caveat emptor" - that's clever stuff, Nigel. What are you doing listening to this?

Ken Bruce (R2)

I didn't know we were allowed to mention brothels on Radio 4. Perhaps it's all right if you don't connect them with Cabinet ministers.

Counterpoint (R4)

You have to be sorry for the meteorologists of Penrith. They had so much rain the bottom fell out of their equipment and they couldn't measure it.

Chains of love that never falter, leading us heavenly to the altar. Feel the flow from a loved one's touch. Being in love sometimes can be too much.

Caller, Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs (R2)

Never let it be said that when Marjorie Antrobus feels the need for tea and cakes she holds back.

The Archers (R4)

There's a lot of mythology about stress these days. Half the previous generation were up chimneys or down mines by the age of 14.

Amanda Patmore

Woman's Hour (R4)

Yes, Martin Clunes does have a bigger cod-piece than Joseph Fiennes - but he's got a smaller part.

Richard E Grant

Simon Mayo (R1)

Britain's first willow-fuelled power-station has just had its foundation stone laid.

Open Country (R4)

Foxes have more rights in this country than unborn babies.

Caller, No Prisoners (Talk)

I have put my husband through it rather badly, but he can relax now.

Margaret Cook
