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.

Supporting Game of Thrones character Euron Greyjoy was a surprise talking point in the first episode of season 7 tonight, debuting a look more befitting of a 21st-century catwalk than a medieval throne room.

Wearing leather trousers, a plunging neckline shirt and tasselled black leather jacket with star detail in King's Landing, the would-be Lord of the Iron Islands looked more like a steampunk acrobat who freelances at 30 Seconds To Mars concerts.

With a new hair and beard cut, he looked very different from last season:

If you were so distracted by the costume in Euron's King's Landing scene you couldn't focus on its plot points, it saw him mischievously flirt with Cersei, mock Jaime's one-handedness and try to forge an alliance against Daenerys Targaryen.

The scene ended with him mysteriously promising to return with a "priceless gift".

The first episode of the new season's main talking point was Ed Sheeran's less-than-subtle cameo. You can read our review of the episode here.

Game of Thrones season 7 continues on HBO, Sky Atlantic and NOWTV next Sunday.
