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.The residents of 28 Hartnell Road have just completed the best series yet of the undergrad sitcom. In last night's series three finale, Kingsley and Josie were still struggling on in the sweetest but most doomed relationship in student history's grand tradition of sweet-but-doomed relationships. Meanwhile, romance was blossoming for Howard and new(ish) housemate Candice, but the most touching love story of all in Fresh Meat (Channel 4), has been the gradually evolving friendship between Vod (Zawe Ashton) and Oregon (Charlotte Ritchie).
First, Oregon worshiped Vod's effortless cool, then Vod copied Oregon's essays and this episode they were going head to head in the election for student union president. Vod was willing to sabotage her own campaign to save their friendship, but with her "cheap chips" policy shoring up the vote, that was easier said than done. If only they'd thought of that in Borgen.
As usual, though, it was Jack Whitehall as JP, that walking, talking critique of educational privilege who had all the best lines: "Oh God, having a conscience is so shit," he said after an aborted attempt to bonk Josie. "It's like being a Catholic. Or a woman. Fucking awful."
Roll on series four, and in the meantime, there's a movie version in the works, apparently.
