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.The weekly ‘big shop’ can be a major chore.
Cramming into a packed supermarket on a Saturday afternoon, using your trolley to joust with other shoppers, with only the thought of pigging out when you get home carrying you through.
But now a branch of Morrisons is offering a service which makes the weekly shop sound positively exciting.
Their Guiseley store in West Yorkshire has opened up a bar called Barista which will let you sup a cold one while you meander the aisles.
There are a range of tipples on offer, from Saltaire Blonde ale to a Frizzante Italian wine. They’re also serving up cider, lagers and craft ales.
It's almost a surprise that no stores have thought of this before - we'd happily take a dram of whisky next time we're shoe shopping, or a G&T while we're browsing for a winter coat.
Although, to be fair, trendy barbershops have been serving up hipster craft ales for a while now.
A Morrisons spokesman said: "Saltaire Blonde is a local brewery that's really popular with customers. We're looking forward to hearing what customers think of our new cask pump."
