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.

The Love Island final takes place tonight (Monday 29 July), with the remaining four couples set to compete for public votes.

After months of tears, tantrums and pool-side parties, this series of the reality dating show is about to reach its conclusion, and one couple will walk away with the £50,000 prize.

There has been plenty for fans to talk about, whether it was the Lucie-Joe-Tommy love triangle right at the beginning of the series, to Tom's epic blunder when Maura overheard him telling the "lads" he wanted to find out if she was "all mouth".

Then there was the Casa Amor switch-up that introduced six new boys and six new girls to the island, leading Michael to betray Amber and hook up with Joanna, while Curtis broke Amy's heart when he admitted he had asked Jourdan if she would couple up with him.

More magical moments came during the "meet the parents" segment in the penultimate episode, which showed Curtis’s mum being physically incapable of saying Maura’s name correctly, no matter how many times her son screamed it at her (she kept saying “Moira”).

Gifts were given: Amber got a clover necklace from Greg’s mum, which might bring them luck for the final, while Anton’s mum presented his girlfriend Belle with a razor – passing the baton, you could say – to shave his buttocks with.

And finally, Anton and Belle became the last couple to be voted off the show. Four couples remain: Tommy and Molly-Mae, Amber and Greg, Curtis and Maura* (not Moira), and Ovie and India.

The Love Island final airs live tonight on ITV2 at 9pm
