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.The public is being asked to make a slightly unusual contribution to a tourist park's new attraction - smelly pee.
Thorpe Park in Surrey is eager to introduce a "signature stench" to its horror maze SAW Alive which opens next month.
In a "contest" on Friday, members of the public will be offered a £500 cash prize to produce the most pungent-smelling urine.
The smell will then be used alongside other stenches in the maze.
The job of selecting the smelliest sample falls to Thorpe Park's entertainments manager Laura Sinclair.
She said: "We want SAW Alive to be as authentic and terrifying as possible to make visitors feel as if they are living in a real-life horror film.
"To do this we need to really push the boundaries of what our guests experience from a sensory point of view."
