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.

IF, POOR darling thing, the hassles of finding a decent glass to sip your champagne from are just too much to bear and the thought of swigging from a bottle disgusts you, then take yourself off to Asprey and Garrard (0171-493 6767) in London.

A sterling silver straw, designed with just the right length and bend for a handbag size quarter bottle of Laurent-Perrier champagne, could be the very thing you need.

Bought with the quarter bottle of Laurent-Perrier, the straw costs pounds 60. But if one straw is not enough, the straws can be bought as a pack of four for pounds 240.
