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.

There is a lot of Twitter love for BBC Two’s new programme The Great British Sewing Bee, in which contestants Tilly and Mark were sent home last night.

Only a few tweets mourned the loss of its sister show The Great British Bake Off, with many female (and some male) viewers expressing a soft spot for judge Patrick Grant.

The semi-final begins next week, and a few fans tweeted disappointment that the series is so short.

But despite The Great British Sewing Bee’s brevity, sewing machine sales are reportedly up since the show began last week, and sewing workshops were tweeting that their classes are filling up thanks to the new series.
