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.Made especially for the upcoming Royal Wedding, McVitie’s created a limited edition “transatlantic” biscuit.
It brings the nation’s favourite, Chocolate Digestive, together with a classic all-American flavour, chocolate fudge brownie. Think Chocolate Digestives with fudge pieces, cocoa and brownie flavouring.
The Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavour came on top of the biscuit giant’s Twitter poll, beating other classic American flavours including Mississippi Mud Pie, Peanut Butter and Jelly, and Pecan Pie.
There are only 50 packs of the special edition packs and will be available for lucky fans to win in the lead up to the big day via the McVitie’s Twitter channel.
This is not the first time McVitie’s has created something special during a Royal Wedding. In 1947, McVitie and Price created (then) Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten’s spectacular nine feet high wedding cake and in 2011, made Prince William’s groom’s cake, which was made of nearly 2,000 Rich Tea biscuits and 17kg of chocolate.
