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.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical for Fleabag.

The British actor and writer thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognising what she called “this little scrap of a show” in her speech, and gave a special shout-out to her co-star Andrew Scott.

“Thank you so much to the HFPA. This is really heavy and cool.

“This really comes down to Andrew Scott,” she said. “There was a lot of talk about the chemistry [between] us in the show, but really he can have chemistry with a pebble.”

She continued, “I loved being Andrew’s pebble, and thank you for bringing so much fire to that season.”

On the Golden Globes red carpet earlier in the night, Scott confirmed that he is teaming up with Waller-Bridge once again for a mystery project.

Scott is also nominated at this year’s Golden Globes, along with Fleabag itself for Best Comedy Series.
