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.Fashion: Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
The devil's in the detail with these must-have Miu Miu pumps, which are one of the stand-out pieces of this season's collection. It seems every shoe designer's focus is now on the underside of the foot, after Christian Louboutin's success with scarlet, and the clusters of gems on these soles will certainly draw admiring glances. Not for wearing on your bike, mind you. Available as a limited edition from the Bond Street store, 020 7409 0900
