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.

On a guilt trip

Perpetrator: Lisa Lipscomb, 26

Location: Diesel, Neal Street, London WC2

Time: 13.48

Crime: Buying a blue Diesel logo jumper for pounds 89.99.

Why: "This is a gift for my best friend - her birthday was a week ago and I forgot it. I've never forgotten it before in all the years we've known each other and luckily, she was really cool about it, but to make up for it I've bought this jumper. She actually saw it at the weekend while we were out shopping together, but they didn't have her size in stock and she was really disappointed. So I decided to sneak back today and luckily they've now got her size in, so she will be really pleased with me."
