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.

A bizarre 'shrine' featuring a brick, a pint of milk and a vintage photograph, has appeared on the streets of Nottingham for apparently no reason.

The unusual scene was discovered by local man Paul Yeomans, who took a photo of it on Wednesday afternoon.

The 'shrine' is made up of a pint of milk, half a brick, an opened bag of sugar and an old picture of a woman, its gold frame propped up on two more bricks.

It could well be litter, but it seems too artfully arranged for that. Perhaps it's in memory of a loved one who enjoyed baking and bricks. Maybe it's something altogether more sinister.

Whatever the explanation, Nottingham residents would do well to keep an eye out for the enigmatic shrine-builder in future.
