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.

Anyone feeling as pallid at the thought of the impending royal birth as the Duchess of Cambridge appeared this morning might like to invest in artwork by Lydia Leith.

Following on from her limited edition Royal Wedding Sick Bag, the artist has come up with a vessel to accommodate extreme reactions to the new third in line to the throne – Royal Morning Sickness sick bags (pictured).

Bearing the header “Shake, Rattle and Rule”, they are emblazoned with the artist’s impression of William and Catherine’s infant in both pink and blue (for a boy or a girl).

The Duchess looked relaxed but pale this morning as she emerged from the King Edward VII Hospital, London where she has been being treated for several days for acute morning sickness.

Leith’s sick bags have proved popular at high profile royal occasions including the nuptials of Kate and Wills and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee last summer.

They are screen printed by hand and cost £3 each.
