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.The British tradition of social tea drinking is enjoying something of a renaissance. The Tea Cake Tuesday Movement ( www.myspace.com/teacaketuesday) was started by a group of teens from York, who meet up for tea and intelligent chat; there are now chapters all over the UK, and as far afield as Paris and LA.
In London, tea has become a ritual for the hip East End party crowd; from tea-and-burlesque parties run by Viva Cake ( www.myspace.com/vivacakebitches) to The Last Tuesday Society's literary tea parties ( www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org).
A new generation of elegant tea salons has also emerged, including Tea Smith in east London ( www.teasmith.co.uk) and Postcard Teas ( www.postcardteas.com) in the West End. Fancy a cuppa, anyone?
