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: Tats the way to do it

Getting inked may still upset the twin set and pearls brigade, but tattoo artist Horiyoshi III has built up a cult following. As has a range of clothing inspired by his designs, which is adding denim for men.

We're not sure about: Going for gold

Celebrating half a century as a brand, Ben Sherman has managed to rescue its reputation from the jaws of small town discotheque doom. But all that hard work could be for naught with the launch of this new fragrance housed in a rather flashy bottle.

We're buying: Fold up, fold up

Wonders will never cease and neither will the threat of rain. So this lighter, foldable creation from welly-bob extraordinaire Hunter is just the ticket when bad weather threatens to stop play. The space saving device will come in handy whether packing for a festival or just a day out.

We can't wait for: Bazaar beauty

Desperate Scousewives may not have dented the TV ratings but for bringing the phenomena of Scouse brows and wearing curlers to the shops into the light of day it must be applauded. Later this year Harvey Nichols will be opening a new Mecca for these beauty devotees – complete with champagne bar, obvs.

We're travelling: Free wheelie

Too scared to clamber on to a Boris bike and hoping to avoid playing sardines on the tube, The Audit has been cutting quite a dash of late travelling between appointments (all right, going on a tea run to the canteen) on its retro Penny Skateboard.

£79.99, routeone.co.uk
