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.Another institution dining on itself in order to satisfy our heritage appetite or just a bit of historical fun? Your dinner party persona would loudly argue the former but, let's face it, with a Christmas shopping list as long as the electoral roll, the real you is going to plump for the latter.
Lifted from images in the National Portrait Gallery, four icons have been given the mouse mat treatment and all ought to find a workstation this Christmas. Henry VIII's bellicose gaze should get Internet slackers back on the straight and narrow while both Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf attract the sort of cultish devotee for whom a themed mouse mat will be but the tamest of authorial nick-nacks. Finally, the Shakespeare mat will be a hit with that person in your life who constantly rabbits on about how the Bard would be creating masterpieces for the CD-rom rather than the stage if he were alive today.
