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.

If I weren't talking to you right now I'd...
Probably be showing somebody from British Gas the leak in the cellar. We're having problems with our heating.
A phrase I use far too often is...
"What's for dinner?" or, lately, "Is the heating on?"
I wish people would take more notice of...
Manners. We need more civility in society.
A common misperception of me is...
That I'm not really Welsh. As if it's something that you would pretend to be.
I am not a politician but...
If I were, I would create a cleaner and more efficient public transport. At the moment, it is slow, filthy and extortionate.
I'm good at...
Impersonating Ronnie Corbett.
I'm very bad at...
The bobsleigh.
The ideal night out is...
Me in a bobsleigh with Ronnie Corbett.
In weak moments I...
Pull out of planned bobsleigh events.
You know me as a comedian but in truer life I'd have been...
A Shetland pony.
The best age to be is...
34 – you are old enough and young enough at the same time.
