"Your Support: The Backbone of Quality Journalism and Intergenerational Bonds"

Reproductive Rights and Climate Change Reporting

The Independent is renowned for its in-depth coverage of various issues. Whether it's delving into the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or shining a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights in our documentary 'The A Word', we are committed to parsing out the facts. In a world where information is often muddled, our journalists work tirelessly to bring you the truth.

Just as we are dedicated to these important causes, we also believe in the power of journalism to bring people together. The story of reproductive rights is not just about legal battles; it's about the lives and struggles of women. And our coverage helps to raise awareness and drive change.

The Unlikely Friendship of Richard Coles and GK Barry

62-year-old Reverend Richard Coles and 25-year-old GK Barry have formed an unlikely but heartwarming friendship. Coles, with his quick wit and warmth, has emerged as a breakout star this season. Their interactions have had viewers cracking up, from Coles' confusion between "emo" and "emu" to their light-hearted banter.

This friendship is a testament to the power of connection. Barry has admitted to learning a lot from Coles, and their bond is evident in every interaction. It's a reminder that age and background don't matter when it comes to forging meaningful relationships.
