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.

We love... Clemency London

This new super-luxe label launched for autumn/winter and has impressed with its range of chic and cool reworked classics. There are silky party dresses with appliqué chiffon detailing to die for, as well as some excellent modern and edgy tailoring. Available from Selfridges. Clemencylondon.com

We're not sure... Dracula's facial

Sure, we're all in love with vampires this season, but only the hot teenage kind. Some Harley Street boffin suggests sucking out your blood, enriching it with a vitamin serum and re-injecting it back into your face to make you look younger. The horror! Pass the garlic please – which contains wrinkle-busting antioxidants anyway.

We're buying... Virginia Johnson

Virginia Johnson used to be an accessories designer for Helmut Lang, and her own range of adorable scarves are launching at Liberty, Selfridges and Net-a-Porter this week. We're convinced that they'll brighten even the dreariest of winter days, and the ice cream colours will work perfectly in summer too. Get yours now – the shark print versions are sure to be snapped up! £175, net-a-porter.com

We can't wait for... Twilight Barbie

A vampire-centric week for the Audit, but with New Moon out on Friday, we're R.Pattz obsessed. He may never be ours to hold, so this plastic rendering of his ethereal beauty will have to do. With a sharper jawline and pearlier complexion than your average Ken, it's as close as we're likely to get. Available from 12 December, £30 each.
