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 is the biggest transfer in the world of fruit preserves in many a season. Robertson's Golden Shred has signed up Paddington Bear to front the marmalade maker's new campaign to dominate the breakfast table.
They've lured Paddington away from Marmite, presumably after agreeing to match the Peruvian's sizeable wage demands (plus a cut for his agent, Michael Bond). Robertson hopes that Paddington will fill the gap left by its much loved, but also controversial, mascot, Golliwog, who retired in 2002.
Robertson's new signing has an impeccable disciplinary record, although opponents have been known to find themselves on the end of the occasional "hard stare".
This ought to be a successful marriage given Paddington's long-standing and well-documented devotion to the orange cause. And if it results in a sticky end, well, at least one bear won't be too sad.
