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.

Bananarama are reforming to cover the Abba classic, `Waterloo', for a new album of Eurovision cover versions

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
