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.

We love: Bag lady

It's well-known that Mrs Prada can do very little wrong, and her latest bag design is proof of that greatness. Available in a range of vibrant colours, it teaches all the other old-school satchels a lesson.

We're not sure about: Bum note

Touted as a "fun summer look every guy can appreciate," white is surely an impractical choice for this T-shirt from Adidas. The blood stains from the ground-scraping knuckles of anyone Neanderthal enough to wear it will be a nightmare to remove.

We're buying: Graduate collections

The graduate collections are upon us, and though we might not have the purchasing power of the legendary Browns founder Mrs Burstein, there's still the chance to buy the work of bright young things. Ten University of Westminster students have collections for sale on Asos marketplace.

We can't wait for: Dinner and a show

London's newest restaurant, Shrimpy's, has the fashion and food worlds all aflutter, but as well as the 50-cover diner, architect Carmody Groarke has designed a shimmering, gilded, waved forecourt at the disused petrol station site in King's Cross. An arts programme is due to be revealed.

We're sharing: A bit off the top

This discount code will certainly afford plenty of investment purchasing at the LN-CC, the east London concept store that's had everyone talking about it, with labels such as Haider Ackermann and Givenchy.
