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.You've got to wonder whether whoever decided to open an Australian theme bar in Covent Garden expected it, on a weekend, to resemble so thoroughly the real thing, with blokes clambering over each other to get near enough to the bar to lean their elbows on it. One wouldn't recommend this place on a Saturday night for a pair of girlies after a chinwag, but the rest of the week it's more civilised and good for a laugh. Bar stools are upturned oildrums, the walls corrugated iron, the music is awful outback country. Cocktails, at £3.95, have names like "Dingo's Breakfast" and "Spooky Megastar", wine is new-world and the tucker is variations on "grilled".
