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 be...
At 10 past two, I've just come off air and I'd be walking to Konditor and Cook cake shop. When we finish work we go there.
A phrase I use far too often...
"Good call."
I wish people would take more notice of...
What I say rather than how I say it.
The most surprising thing that happened to me was...
Learning the can-can in Paris with the Moulin Rouge girls.
A common misperception of me is...
That I am a fairly serious person. In fact I have a hugely defined sense of comedy and the absurd.
I am not a politician but...
I was once, alas, engaged to one.
I'm good at...
Food: reading food, eating food, talking food, prepping food, dreaming food.
I'm very bad at...
Saying no to worthy causes, which causes problems with my agent.
In moments of weakness I...
Can usually eat a whole box of chocolates.
In another life I'd have been...
A full-time writer. I do a lot of writing anyway but I'd love to do more.
The best age to be is...
The age I am now.
The ideal night out is...
A night in with my partner. Is that allowed?
In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:
I have several philosophies. My biggest one is to treat others as you wish to be treated, which comes down to respect.
