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.

Glastonbury 2023 is well underway, with the iconic music festival going full steam ahead at Worthy Farm in Somerset.

The live music on the main stages began on Friday (23 June), but ticket-holders have been entering the site since the gates were opened by co-organiser Emily Eavis at 8am on Wednesday (21 June).

This year’s festival welcomes huge acts including Arctic Monkeys, Lizzo, Guns n’ Roses, Lana Del Rey and Elton John.

From quirky to funny, weird to political,here are some of the best flags we’ve seen at Glastonbury so far…
