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.

An agonising year for actress Sienna Miller has ended with her being voted the most inspirational celebrity of 2005 in a poll of teenage girls.

The 23-year-old star of Alfie, whose latest role is in the new film Casanova, had a much publicised break-up with her film star partner, Jude Law, after he was caught cheating on her with his children's nanny.

Now the two are said to be back together again - although he is spending the Christmas break with his ex-wife, Sadie Frost, and their three children in Kenya.

During the break-up, Miller continued with her stage role in the West End play As You Like It and was said to have flirted with her ex-partner, Orlando Bloom, and the new James Bond star, Daniel Craig.

The poll, to be published in the teen magazine Sugar on Wednesday, was designed to find the 10 most inspirational women of 2005.

The teenagers' choices appeared to favour women who had battled through adversity during the year.

Third in the list was the former Atomic Kitten singer, Kerry Katona, who had a traumatic break-up with her boyfriend, Dave Cunningham, earlier in the year when he ditched her. She had been seeking solace after her split with her husband, Brian McFadden, the previous year.

The full list is: 1 Sienna Miller, 2 Gwen Stefani, 3 Kerry Katona, 4 Kylie Minogue, 5 Hilary Duff, 6 Charlotte Church, 7 Jessica Simpson, 8 Paris Hilton, 9 Jessica Alba, 10 Christine Aguilera.
