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.Fresh off record-breaking temperatures, the UK is set to experience yet another heatwave – so there’s no better excuse to head into the garden and soak up the balmy weather.
When making the most of the summer months, investing in decent outdoor furniture is often a simple way to enhance your hours spent alfresco – and when it comes to affordable options, the budget buy queen, Aldi, never disapoints.
No stranger to thrifty but stylish garden furniture, the supermarket has already made waves with its sell-out hanging egg chair and heatwave-appropriate gazebo.
And now, re-joining the roster, is its luxe rocking sun lounger. Markedly modern with a sleek silhouette, this garden throne is perfect for a spot of patio lazing.
While we’ve not reviewed the chair ourselves, the hugely competitive price tag paired with the upcoming current heatwave means it will likely sell out. So if like us you’re looking to drain every last drop from the summer months, take a pew as we explain everything you need to know about the swish sun lounger.

With its steel tube frame and durable fabric cover, Aldi claims it to be weather and UV resistant, meaning it should hold its own once winter rolls around.
