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.Boris Johnson has revealed the present he will be sending Prince George.
Speaking on radio station LBC, the London Mayor said that he would be sending the royal baby a blue tricycle.
When quizzed by presenter Nick Ferrari about where the trike had been bought, the Mayor sheepishly said 'pass'.
Johnson said: 'Unfortunately, I haven't personally been out shopping. I imagine it's a beautiful blue.'
He was quickly rescued by someone who said that the tricycle was still being built.
Johnson went on to joke: 'This is not in my briefing. I had the riots, I had fire not baby presents. I'm sending Prince George a beautiful blue, bouncing tricycle to get him on a bike as early as possible and [introduce] him to the joy of cycling.'
Prince George who was born last month is third in line to the throne. His birth was a source of global media interest that had camera crews camped for weeks outside the hospital where he was born.
