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.

Love Island's Sunday episode saw romance blossom all across of the villa.

First off, Samira landed her first kiss of the show with new boy Sam, promising that, not only has she once more managed to evade being evicted from the villa, but that she might actually get a shot at finding real love.

Georgia went for broke with Josh and the two consolidated their coupling with a promise of no more games; Megan and Eyal, plus Adam and Zara got to know each other a little bit better with some heartfelt chats about how Venice "stinks", apparently, and what the practicalities of opening 300 schools are.

Meanwhile, Laura and Wes let "the horse eat the sugar lump", which won't be explained further - but you can guess what it entails.


But, most importantly of all, Jack actually asked Dani to be his girlfriend. And she said yes, instantly cementing them as the absolute favourites to win the show. Could there ever be any doubt? Or is there a nasty surprise hiding around the corner?

Follow along our reaction as it happened:


Love Island continues nightly except for Saturday on ITV2 at 9pm.

Ah there they are, barely maintaining a conversation. Venice apparently stinks, Eyal? Please, tell me more, you worldly soul.

The TEEEXXXXT brings this episode's challenge. Which is some sort of lame festival tie-n. Prompt loads of terrible rave moves.

They're literally just putting up tents now. I don't care how many times you say "hole", you can never fix this truly tedious idea.

Whoever orchestrated the zoom in on Eyal after Megan complained that her throat hurt because something touched the back of it should get a raise.

I know they're making fun of the cake... but who baked the cake?
