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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Discount supermarket Aldi is taking on high-end spirits retailers this Christmas by offering vintage bottles of brandy for a fraction of the recommended retail price.
A bottle of 1973 Napoleon Vintage Brandy would set you back £107 if purchased at an upmarket stockist. But Aldi has slashed over £77 off the list price to offer the same product at the bargain price of £29.99.
This is not the only premium alcoholic beverage the discount retailer has cut the price on this Christmas. Shoppers can also pick up a bottle of 15-Year-Old El Dorado Rum for £36 (discounted from £44), Grand Cru Champagne NV for £22.99 (£20 cheaper than elsewhere), Glen Orrin 30-Year-Old Whiskey for £54.99 (£80 cheaper than upmarket retailers).
In recent years the supermarket has made a concerted push to lure wealthy shoppers away from higher-end chains by developing a reputation for offering quality food and wine at affordable prices. Last week it came top in a blind Christmas pudding taste test by the Good Housekeeping Institute with its £3.89 Connoisseur Christmas pudding, seeing off stiff competition from Harrods and Heston Blumenthal.
