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.Serious newspapers were embracing gibberish last week, as news emerged that Gordon asked Fiona to be a part of his goat, and Fiona turned him down. Some said she was put out that Gordon had asked Lorraine first, and only asked Fiona when Lorraine said no.
This is the latest news about Gordon Brown, who is putting together something called a "government of all the talents" that consists of asking all the most popular children to be in his gang. First he persuaded Digby Jones, who had never been asked to be in a real gang before, so he joined. But he had less luck with the girls. Lorraine Kelly said no. Then he approached Fiona Phillips to be a minister in charge of children, or knitting, or something like that. What on earth can have made her say no?
