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 only thing you want to wear at this time of year is something that keeps you warm and conveniently skims over the extra curves of Christmas. The very idea of wearing anything that is tight and restricting or that involves wearing tights is not a cosy thought. Mohair and angora are especially good, as these types of wool trap more air in their long, fluffy hairs, keeping you extra warm. Wool lovers beware: more moths than ever are being reported this year, thanks to recent mild winters. They're not just something you get in old Victorian houses, they also strike designer jumpers in loft conversions. To protect your woollens, you can get moth-killers that hang in your wardrobe and don't smell. If possible, you should keep your jumpers in zip bags to limit damage.
