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.

It’s been nearly as tedious as watching Arsenal in this summer’s transfer window; but the Labour leadership contest is nearly over. We’ve seen countless opinion pieces regarding the electability of Jeremy Corbyn but this animation is possibly the most unique take on the surprise frontrunner.

TomoNews is a popular Taiwanese YouTube channel which animates the most entertaining news stories on the Internet.

A week before the Labour leadership election, our prayers have been answered and they've created an amusing animation about Corbyn.

Watch the animation below.

The animation shows Corbyn to be a real candidate as opposed to his “cardboard cut-out” rivals.

It goes on to describe how Corbyn is portrayed as the “66-year old love child of a Lenin, Marx and Trotsky threesome” and what might happen if both Donald Trump and Corbyn are in office come 2020.

Would we see a Mortal Kombat-esque scene like below?
