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.

FOR SOME, beige is more than a colour, it's a way of life. Take stand-up comedian Steve Furst, who comes out of the closet in head-to- toe beige polyester. Add to that chunky gold rings and lashings of fake tan, and "the glamorous god of glitz" Lenny Beige (right) emerges. With a repertoire of excessive posturing, easy-listening crooning and gorgeous kitsch, Beige has been wooing audiences at his regular haunt, the Regency Rooms, in Drury Lane. He begins a 10-week run at the Criterion theatre this week.

The Criterion, Piccadilly Circus, London WC2 (0171- 369 1747) Fridays 10.30pm
