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.

Aaron Simpson is one of the new bombshells who is set to arrive at the Love Island villa.

The 24-year-old footballer from Kent signed up to the show in the hope that he will “leave with a worldie” and is “definitely looking for a long-lasting relationship”.

He is looking for someone “who has a big enough personality to hold their own and put me in my place” and “someone who also isn’t too serious as I’m a very spontaneous person”.

Simpson is interested in getting to know Chloe and Mary in the villa, but wants to keep his options open.

“I’m going to bring fun, good energy and positive vibes,” he said. “I think a couple of the girls’ heads will be turning when I go in there.”

Speaking about his ideal first date, he said: “Probably go for drinks. For a second date I’d always want to do something fun. I’m not really one for fancy dinners. Doing something fun and adventurous like rock climbing or zip wiring. I love doing something that is a bit different.”
