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.Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was married at the weekend to Daisy Evans - and had a very special guest to provide some entertainment.
The 23-year-old was married to the former S Club Juniors star on Saturday and stand-up comedian Jimmy Carr was at the reception to perform a routine.
Carr is one of Britain's most notorious and popular comics, famous for his offensive, quick-fire wit and for hosting 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Big Fat Quiz of the Year and others.
The comedian performed a short routine for the couple, with a joke about his wife and Liz Hurley.
Shelvey, who has one England cap, had a very impressive season for Garry Monk's team, scoring three goals and adding five assists as Swansea finished a best-ever 8th.
