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.It isn't often that disruption on motorways brings a smile to the faces of the general public. But spillage of 20-tonnes of Marmite onto the M1 in South Yorkshire last night has prompted many jokes about the yeasty spread miraculously turning into jam.
But Marmite is not the only substance offloaded onto the road to cause more smirks than grumbles. Here independent.co.uk rounds up some of the funniest - and most unusual - spillages in pictures. Launch the picture gallery (above) to read.
