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.

Following a triumphant loss in the General Election, fans of Jeremy Corbyn have gone crazy for anything related to the Labour leader.

Naturally, booksellers are trying their best to capitalise on Corbymania, including Old Street Publishing who are rush-releasing an updated Corbyn-themed colouring book.

The publisher released the original version — The Corbyn Colouring Book — in 2015. The new ‘Now With Even Less Austerity’ version will reach bookstores at the new date of 23 June.

Designed by James Nunn, the new version invited you to "relive the excitement of #GE2017 over and over again,” according to The Bookseller.

Addition colouring pages to the A5 book include a ‘Make Jam not War’ poster, a ‘Where’s Theresa?’ spread, and a ‘pimp your voting slip’ page. They will appear alongside favourites 'Obi-Wan Kenobyn', 'Jez parting the Red Sea' and the 'Sistine Corbyn’.

The original version sold 17,465 copies, with boosted sales of 129 percent week-on-week following the election. The new addition will cost £7.99
