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.

Gamers don’t help themselves, do they? It’s well known that we here at Trending love eating pizza as much as we enjoy playing some digital slice of entertainment, but we try not to have a combo of the two, lest we unwittingly stereotype ourselves.

That may become a little harder, however, as the good bods at Microsoft have taken things to another level and allowed a Pizza Hut app to appear on its Xbox 360 console.

Now gamers can order a full meal with sides and drinks without having to put down the joypad. OK, we lie – you can put it down and flail your arms because the app is also compatible with the hands-free Kinect controller, but that require’s effort of Minority Report proportions. The app is available in the US now and will no doubt be heading to the UK soon. Stuffed crust for us please and some garlic bread... for our avatar, of course.
