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.

Yet another pop memorabilia sale takes place today, guaranteed to bring at least a few anoraks to London's Hard Rock Cafe.

If you really can't resist owning a slice of rock 'n' roll history, then the Sotheby dudes might have something for you.

Highlights include a self portrait of John Lennon, said to be worth around pounds 25,000 and his "Instant Karma" lyrics, valued at pounds 15,000. Also up for grabs, for those ironic ephemeral-loving types out there, are the five skimpy outfits worn at the Channel 5 launch by the Spice Girls.

Talking of the skimpily dressed... artist Howard Tangye opens his first exhibition Body Line today.
