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.

Slippage. It's a word you'd associate with sodden slag heaps, perhaps, or shaky Far Eastern stock markets ... but your face? Facial Flex claims, laudably enough, to be an alternative to cosmetic surgery and, when compressed and released between the corners of the mouth 40 to 60 times a day, will deliver a 32 per cent increase in facial firmness and a 250 per cent increase in facial muscle strength.

Nevertheless, those of you slack of jaw and flabby of jowl, still labouring under the guilt of New Year exercise regimes yet to be begun, need not add the face to your sum of neglected body parts. The Facial Flex may suggest a terrifying new aerobic world of nose jerks and cheek thrusts, but the word on the street is that the body fascists aren't about to start taunting us with "nostrils of steel" along with "trim tums" and "pert bottoms".

Facial Flex, pounds 49.95 (call 0990 502082 for stockist details)
