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.

TalkTalk has launched a brand new TV review show called ‘Gobblebox’ to help viewers across the country enjoy the best of Christmas telly.

The 'Gobblebox' cast includes ten charismatic Black Norfolk turkeys which give the British public a bird’s eye view of what’s hot and what’s not this festive season.

Emulating the stars of hit show Gogglebox - including Steph and Dom, Sandy and Sandra, Leon and June, Chris and Stephen and the Michaels Family - the feathered reviewers have unleashed their sharp beaks on a range of Christmas specials including Downton Abbey, Dr. Who and EastEnders, as well as seasonal film favourites such as Frozen, Home Alone and Elf. Each and every show the birds watch will be given a rating from TV Turkey to Christmas cracker.

The festive fowl have been observed by ‘Turkey Whisperer’ and Consultant Editor of Practical Poultry, Fred Hams, who predicts that some scenes may get the turkeys in a flap.

The show goes live on 18 December at 1pm.
