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.

Remember the early Sixties, when every teenage girl had over-the-knee socks in her Christmas stocking? Well, if you've stepped out amongst the Soho-cialities recently, you'll have realised that over-the-knee socks are now an essential part of the trendies Wardour-robe. These tasty items are literally running out of the shop at Boy in Old Compton Street, who stock all manner of OTKs, from lurid lurex to fur and feather-topped versions. Prices start at very affordable pounds 4.99 and you can purchase a really extravagant pair for under a tenner.

Boy, 10-11 Moore St, W1 (071-287 0911). Mon-Sat 10am-7.30pm
