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.

After, ooh, minutes of toiling away on the circuit, Cambridge University alumni Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller hit the critical G-spot with "The Quality Shag" at the Edinburgh Festival in 1996. Cradled in quality sketch material, their delicately formed comedy personae - from the phonetically challenged Strijka, Norway's third most popular band, to Tam and Kip, ageing Vegas crooners - earned them a Perrier Award nomination, which begat a series on Paramount, which begat a series on Channel 4 and their own MTV cult show, So Nineties. Fame, fortune and the small matter of having to pen another series for Channel 4 have kept them away from practising their craft in front of pint-in-hand mortals. Tonight, though, it's payback time: the Komedia gave them the time of day when they were just mates of a freshfaced comedy duo called Mel and Sue. Look out for new material and prepare to hold your lighter aloft for the triumphant return of Strijka.
