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.

It’s been a busy couple of years at Philadelphia HQ. The range of pallid spreadable cheese seems to be attempting to catch up to Heinz when it comes to varieties of flavour.

Take a trip to the cheese aisle in your local supermarket and you will have a job finding the bog-standard plain stuff, for the fridge shelf is now crammed with a whole multicoloured spectrum of flavours.

Joining the brown-hued mash-up that is the Philly with Cadbury chocolate, and alongside the chives and grilled pepper version, you’ll find Philadelphia with smoked salmon and dill.

To which I say simply: NO. First off, raise your hand if you trust “smoked salmon” in spready form ( thought not). And, big picture here, guys, the cream cheese tends to go ON the salmon, not the other way around.
