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 may seem a little premature to start thinking about Christmas, but the big day will be here before you know it. Ahead of the merry season, M&S has just unveiled its indulgent festive offerings for 2022.
Not only is the stalwart bringing back its sell-out snow globe gins, this year there’s a new addition to its coveted Christmas range: a shortbread tin that doubles up as a musical starry-night light projector.
Better still, the decorative tin is filled with delicious-sounding all-butter and chunky-chocolate shortbread.
Last year, the store’s light-up gins caused such a stir among shoppers that the novelty tipple had to be famously restricted to one per customer. Costing just £9, the pocket-friendly shortbread tin might just be destined for the same cult status.
Whether you’re shopping on a budget for the office secret Santa or want a decorative piece to impress the kids at the Christmas dinner table, here’s everything you need to know about M&S’s starry night shortbread selection tin.

Filled with a selection of butter and chocolate shortbreads, the tin is an indulgant treat.
