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.While many people in London were confined to their offices today, some took advantage of the warm weather by throwing themselves down a huge yellow water slide.
Fun-seekers used blow-up rings to slide down the 100-meter inflatable, which was set up next to King’s Cross station. The slide will be open for its final day tomorrow.
‘Rise & Slide’ is part of the ‘Be a Daybreaker’ campaign from Lipton Ice Tea, which encourages Londoners to break from their normal daily routine.
People have been posting images and comments about the slide on Twitter throughout the day.
Chloe Musgrave, a marketing account manager, said: "Amazing 100m inflatable water slide at Kings Cross earlier."
The campaign is also offering people a chance to win tickets to a range of events including a morning river cruise and a sunrise cinema screening at the Queen of Hoxton bar in east London.
