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: Jubilations

You can't get far without encountering a Union Jack at the moment, but this Henry Holland number is The Audit's favourite souvenir by far and will polish up one's memorabilia a treat.

£25, houseofholland.co.uk

We're not sure about: Anti ant pants

Of course nobody wants to get bitten on their derrière, but are insect repellent-infused undies the answer? One brand seems to think so, although the less-than-sexy design may see more than just the local creepy crawlies beating a path from your hotel room door.

We're buying: Everything's rosy

Your flowering border shouldn't be the only thing awash with fragrance come summer. This limited-edition Jo Malone cologne is decadently sweet and smoky thanks to notes of praline and oud, while Damask rose makes it a sultry alternative to Red Roses.

£95, Jo Malone, 0870 034 2411

We can't wait for: Bikini weather

Just because summer seems to finally be on its way, doesn't mean that anyone is actually ready for it. These punchy shades of polish from Eres will help distract from the dauntingly teeny-weeny matching bikini that The Audit is planning to squeeze into.

£15, Eres, 24 Motcomb Street, London SW1, 020 7235 4261

We're drinking: Tea time

A posh pot of tea is all well and good, but skaterboys worth their salt love slurping a builders' brew out of a chunky mug. Be warned, though – this hand-printed Lovenskate pint-size mug's printed internal radness scale is bound to encourage some competitive biscuit dunking.

£14, lovenskate.com
