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.John Lewis’s website has gone down amid the rush to find PlayStation 5s.
The company was said to be adding new stock at 8am UK time, and it appears the rush to get hold of it has taken the website down.
Visitors to any part of John Lewis’s website – not simply the devoted page for the PS5 – see an error message indicating that the website has broken.
"We’re currently experiencing a problem," the page reads. “While we work on fixing this, please try to refresh the page or come back later.”
Game’s website has also gone down. That retailer was also said to be adding new PlayStation 5 stock throughout the day.
