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.Jeremy Corbyn will appear on a special edition of Channel 4’s Gogglebox later this year to support Stand Up To Cancer.
Of course, the Labour Leader won’t be alone — a ‘mystery celebrity’ will join Corbyn on the sofa, the pair watching a selection of currently undisclosed television programmes.
Where exactly that sofa will be, though, remains unknown. The politician is not expected to film the episode at home.
"He's really looking forward to it,” one Labour source told the BBC. “It's a great programme for a great cause.”
Stand Up To Cancer has revealed that numerous other high-profile people will also appear on the show, only hinting at names.
“This very special edition of the TV review programme will see some surprise faces join the show’s favourite families as they pass judgement on a vast array of TV goodness,” they said in a statement.
The celebrity special Gogglebox is on Channel 4, 3 November at 9pm.
