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.

I like a bit of aspiration. My style is brave and eclectic, especially when performing. Characters from films inspire me: Faye Dunaway in Chinatown; Shirley Maclaine in Some Came Running. I'm wearing my Ralph Lauren show-jumping jacket that makes me look like Princess Anne ( www.ralphlauren.com) and Marc Jacobs' recent Louis Vuitton collection inspired the clothes in my video ( www.louisvuitton.com). I adore B*store ( www.bstorelondon.com) and Rellik for vintage ( www.relliklondon.co.uk).

Armani make-up is the best ( www.giorgioarmanibeauty.com) and I also use Kiehl's hair products ( www.kiehls.com). Exfoliating mittens are the greatest invention of all time. I hate the trend for choosing handbags just to show how rich you are. Most of them weigh a ton; I do have a great 1980s-style oversized clutch from Fendi. ( www.fendi.com).

Roisin Murphy's single, '"You Know Me Better", is out 31 March on EMI Records. Her album, Overpowered, is out now
