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.

The stylish swinging cocoon can cost an arm and a leg, depending on where you shop. Luckily, the budget-friendly supermarket’s cult favourite egg chair is back in stock and comes in at under £150. The affordable price means that the chair has been famously known to go out of stock almost as soon as it hits the (online) shelves, so, we’d imagine it won’t hang around for long.
If you would prefer to size up, the supermarket is also selling a supersized version with a suitably higher price tag of £249.99 (Aldi.co.uk), and a stylish rope snug swing (was £199.99, now £129.99, Aldi.co.uk), as well as a cocoon chair (was £169.99, now £99.99, Aldi.co.uk) for those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground.
So, if any of the swinging pews have taken your fancy, here is everything you need to know about Aldi’s egg chair range for 2023.

Held up by a steel frame measuring in at 195cm tall and 100cm wide, the chair itself is suspended with a 19cm long fixing chain which should allow the chair to sway slightly as you relax inside. And, owing to the being protected with UV-resistant materials and a water-repellent cover for defending against the temperamental British weather, it should be a pretty low-maintenance purchase, too.
Should you need any more convincing, the supermarket’s sell-out design was dubbed the “best affordable egg chair” in our review of the best egg chairs, with our tester noting that it “proves consistently good value for money compared to other similar products on the market”.
The writer added that it looks and feels “much more expensive than it is, the egg chair boasts a synthetic polyethylene wicker in an imperfect criss-cross weave, which gives it an artisanal quality”. The “water-proof cushioning and a weather-resistant powder-coated steel frame add to its long list of reasons to buy”. Thankfully, the budget-friendly supermarket has only gone and made the chair even more affordable by
