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.

Little Boots and Kelly Osbourne hung out together along with Kimberly Stewart at the Nokia Skate Almighty VIP launch party.

Just as the roller disco was starting, Boris Johnson did a slow cycle by the Potters Fields bespoke outdoor skate rink, which is right by the Mayor's headquarters, at Tower Bridge.

Rod Stewart's daughter, Kimberly who wore some killer heels didn't manage much skating, while Ozzy Osbourne's daughter, Kelly, preferred to show off her new bleached hair and was seen planting kisses all over her boyfriend Luke Worrell, who arrived shortly after her.

But the American actress Margot Stilley, who starred in the controversial and sexually explicit 2004 film 9 Songs directed by Michael Winterbottom, skated the night away while the Foals did a DJ set.

Little Boots, whose real name is Victoria Hesketh, changed into a striking green and blue mini dress and wore a super cool hat as well as high gladiator ankle boots when she took to the stage. She performed a 30-minute live set to the 600 guests and the roller disco came to a halt.

The free event for the public continued over four nights, giving thousands of skaters a chance to skate to live performances and DJ sets from acts including Queens of Noize, Calvin Harris, The Holloways, The Pipettes and Goldierocks.
