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.

BANANARAMA DHARMA
Bananarama good
Bananarama cool
Not the coiffeured produce
Of a drama school
Awkward with the make-up
Barely danced in time
Shangri-Las for later
Mistresses of mime
Flowers of the Eighties
Beautiful and wild
Seen by wolfish pop stars
Plucked and got with child
Leaving us to languish
In a time of Spice
And the Android Sisters'
Phonographic lice
Don't you hate the Nineties'
Refried Sixties charm?
Puritans in kick-flares
Tugging at your arm
With a pop polenta
For the middlebrow
Fetch Bananarama
