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.

SO FAR AS Radio 4 is concerned, the message of Christmas is all about God, over-eating and end-of-year retrospectives. God is represented today with the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (3pm R4) live from King's College Chapel in Cambridge (right), and by Midnight Mass from Lichfield Cathedral (11.30pm R4).

Eating is represented by a selection of short food-centred readings called Petits Fours scattered through the schedules between now and Boxing Day.

Looking back on '98 are The Year in Westminster (8pm R4) with Boris Johnson and Steve Richards - no doubt taking great pains to avoid mentioning Peter Mandelson's sex life - and Pick of the Year (10pm R4).
