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.I WAS in quite a rush this morning, and had an unusually early breakfast at about 8.30am: my breakfast consisted of two croissants, which I had with seedless raspberry jam. I also had a cup of coffee - black no sugar - and some orange juice. Norm ally I have breakfast quite a bit later, at about 10am, and it usually consists of a toasted bagel with cheese, fresh fruit and yoghurt.
This morning I went to the Salvation Army Hall on Oxford Street to do a live recording for BBC Radio 2. We had a break at noon when I grabbed a black coffee and doughnut from the canteen. After this I went to the theatre at about 1.30 where I had a sandwich of mozarella and spinach on granary bread with mustard and tomato. I also had a cup of instant decaffei-nated coffee before make-up. The show started at 3pm and finished at 5.30pm, during which I had no food but drank a lot of fluids: spring water and fruit tea. When the show was over I had a jacket potato with carrot salad and cheese. This was provided by a catering group which serves various West End theatres with rather lovely vegetarian food. I also had rice salad with beetroot, apple and lettuce, and a flapjack. I had another cup of decaffeinated coffee; later in the day I like to stay away from caffeine.
At 7.45 the evening show started and it finished at 10.30pm. It takes about half an hour to get my make-up off, and by that stage I was quite hungry so I grabbed a spicy beanburger from Burger King at the end of the evening before going home.
I had a can of lager and a couple of chocolate chip biscuits as soon as I was home, and then I called it a night.
