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.

Plenty of good news for fizz fans at Asda this week. This clean and refreshingly crisp Spanish sparkler with a lemony bite is more than respectable enough for most parties. Should easily fit your budget too.

Under a tenner: 2003 Mâcon Fuissé, Domaine, £9.99, Oddbins

Less well-known than its neighbouring Pouilly Fuissé but cut from the same chardonnay cloth, this finely crafted dry white benefits from the extra boost of 2003 vintage heat, with a ripe, honey richness and power unusual in this part of southern Burgundy.

Splash out: Bollinger Brut NV, £20.22 (six for £18.20 each), Asda, until Wednesday

Non-vintage Bolly delivers a classy mouthful of toasty aromatic fruit and effortlessly stylish, creamy bubbles. It's worth clubbing together - this is a rare chance to stock up on an iconic champagne at less than £20.
