Bargain Hunter: The drinks are on Cantina Laredo in Covent Garden
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.

Put the freeze on energy bills to beat worries about price rises
Now warm weather has arrived, EDF Energy has launched a new tariff that lets you freeze energy bills for the next three winters. Even better, it allows you to leave at any time without being stung by exit fees. Of course it's a little more expensive than current best buys. And, at an average cost of £1,350 a year, it's a fair amount more than a 15-month, fixed-price deal from the same firm at £1,210 a year. But if you're worried about future price increases, locking in now could pay in the future, especially as you can get out of the deal easily. The biggest problem? It has a silly name, Blue+Price Freeeeze November 2016. More info at www.edfenergy.com/blue
