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.

Looking for a way to get rid of overstaying dinner guests without resorting to rudeness? Leave the vacuum in the cupboard and get down to Luna and Curious in Shoreditch, where they sell a product that will have guests rushing to the coat stand: musical wine glasses.

The crystal glasses have etchings on their side which, when filled with wine to that point, produce different musical notes when drinkers run their fingers around the lip. L&C suggests you buy 12 to "start the orchestra", but at £30 for two, it might just be better to just throw on your dressing gown, stand at the door winding your alarm clock, before offering to order everyone a taxi.
