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.Retailers in London were hoping to see one of the busiest shopping days of the year with the start of Boxing Day sales.
Thousands of bargain-hungry shoppers flocked to high street chains across the country to get post Christmas discounts.
Next and Debenhams opened their doors at 7am to lure in the crowds, and Selfridges started trading at its Birmingham and Manchester branches at 8am.
Hundreds of people queued outside the London flagship, which opened at 9am.
Stewards worked to keep the crowds under control and there was a separate line for customers hoping to get their hands on Gucci products.
Nat Wanwalee and Naween Mukdasanit, both 25 and from Hammersmith, arrived at the Oxford Street department store at 6am to get a prime spot.
Mr Mukdasanit said: "There were no buses until 8am so we paid for a taxi to come here. I'm not looking for anything in particular. We wanted to get in the Gucci queue but it was too long so we're looking at everything."
Mary Adonis, 32, who lives in Portobello, west London, managed an impressive 2am start.
She said: "I want to look in all the departments, maybe for a bag. I love Gucci."
Nadia Alqabandi, 41, from Westminster, and her 14-year-old daughter Aseel, came prepared with blankets when they arrived outside the store at 6am.
