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.

Another dramatic episode of Love Island saw both Amy and Amber in tears after confronting Curtis and Michael about their bad behaviour.

After taking some time to cool off, Amy confronted Curtis for betraying her, which led to one of the most epic put-downs of the show ("You're the perfect guy, aren't you? No you're f***ing not"), while Amber tried to have a reasonable conversation with Michael only to realise he is, in fact, a four-year-old who just got caught raiding the cookie jar.

Meanwhile Anna is starting to look as though she seriously regrets her decision to dump Jordan in favour of basketball player Ovie. And after an entire episode of no interactions other than the occasional glare, Amber gets a text revealing she has to have a proper talk with Joanna (Michael's new partner) over a glass of wine. We'll have to wait until the next episode to find out how that goes.

The liveblog is now closed.

Love Island continues on 5 July at 9pm on ITV2

Well, it's hard to imagine what could possibly top last night's most dramatic of episodes, but there are just under two hours until we find out

What happens now? Lots of shouting apparently. 

The tears, the mopey expressions, the shy grins – and that’s just Tommy gazing at his toy elephant. But now, after the Recoupling calm, comes the storm. At least judging by the sneak preview of tonight's episode. It seems Amy has a few choice words for Curtis. And Michael is speaking rather passionately too. Forget the Rumble in the Jungle. This is shaping up to be the Squawker in Majorca.

Thank goodness for Tommy and Molly-Mae

The entire villa melts into tears as Tommy and Molly Mae hug. They’ve stayed true to one another! Love Island is often accused of cynically manipulating its contestants. But this moment of genuine human emotion cuts through the reality shenanigans like a comb through a quiff drenched in gel. Sorry for the weird analogy – but I’ve just spent the past 80 minute starring at Curtis’s hair so it’s what comes to mind.

Do we have to watch Michael being a fool for a THIRD time?

Michael has gone from hero to zero in the space of a few minutes

"I genuinely, genuinely thought I knew Michael." Didn't we all, Molly Mae, didn't we all.

My housemate: "Can you google 'dead ting?'"
