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.Gogglebox fans have reacted to a surprise photo that Dave and Shirley Griffiths shared alongside their grandson.
The popular couple, who are from Wales, posted the image on their joint Instagram account following a day out in London with the boy, who is named Elliot.
Dave and Shirley captioned the photo: “Living the lifestyle! Hahaha ha!”
The pair have appeared on the Channel 4 entertainment series since 2015, where they have swiftly become fan favourites.
Viewers of the show responded kindly to the rare family photo on social media, with one writing: “Beautiful family.”
Another added: “Awww nice to see you away from your lounge enjoying yourselves.”
In April, Dave and Shirley joked that they looked like characters from The Sopranos when they were in their twenties, and shared an old photo as evidence.
The photo was taken when they were 25 “and full of it” – they are now in their sixties.
