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.2016 is just days away and with it - new ambitions and expectations. For the mystic Megs out there, you will be glad to know there is a host of specials to get your teeth stuck into.
Katie Hopkins had an eventful year – from appearing relatively normal on Celebrity Big Brother to trolling the nation with her comments on immigration; the question is will she be recognised in the New Year? She’s 66/1 to be appointed a Dame.
Another controversial figure has been Tyson Fury, Britain’s first boxing heavyweight champion in six years after defeating Wladimir Klitschko last month. Fury has dominated front and back newspaper pages ever since – not just for his right hook but also allegations of homophobia and sexism.
What will he do next? He’s 33/1 to stand in Wythenshawe & Sale East constituency at the next general election.
Four months in to the Premier League season and who would have thought Chelsea would be in a relegation dogfight and the special one happy one normal one, Jose Mourinho, would be out of a job.
History suggests more Premier League managers will join Dick Advocaat, Brendan Rodgers and Mourinho in looking for a new post. But, if you fancy football club owners to have a chilled out 2016, it’s 100/1 that no Premier League manager will permanently leave their post.
And for all you misanthropes, you may find joy in making a 2000/1 bet on a meteor destroying planet Earth.
Good luck trying to cash that bet.
