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.

Cult television comedies Shooting Stars and The Fast Show are to stage a series of huge rock-style live events.

Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Ulrika Jonsson, Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson and the rest will re-create their television successes live for 3,500 comedy fans a night at the Labatt's Apollo in Hammersmith, west London. Tickets went on sale yesterday for the first six nights of an open ended run, starting on 27 January. Higson said: "We're doing it because it is a buzz, going on stage in front of a live audience - and because of the money."
