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.

THIS BAG is not from Prada; nor is it a Kelly bag from Hermes. It did not cost the equivalent of a second-hand car. This bag - with just enough room for a lipstick, a powder compact and your front door keys - is from Marks & Spencer. The price? pounds 13.

Understandable, then, that it is not lined, or even leather. It does not boast weeks of workmanship. On closer inspection, the zip looks cheap and glitzy. But carry it with a little suit from Prada and who would know? Even teamed with a high street outfit it would still look like the sort of bag that cost half-an-arm and half-a-leg.

It is certainly the best bag to have come out of M&S and would look equally at home on the arm of some groovy young night-time chick as it would on the Queen. In short, it is the perfect little bag that everyone should have.

And unlike the limited edition Hermes Kelly bag, there is not a waiting list. It is available now fron your nearest M & S.
