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 department store has released its highly anticipated Christmas advert “The Bear & The Hare”, which uses animation for the first time. The £7 million Christmas campaign is the latest from John Lewis, following a string of popular tear-jerking seasonal adverts.

Set to a cover of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know” with vocals by Lily Allen, the advert follows the story of a hibernating bear, and his friend the hare who is sad to hear he will sleep through Christmas. Watch how the story ends in the video below:
