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.

It's not too late to bag a bargain in the post-Christmas sales. Shop now to take advantage of further reductions.

When it comes to sale shopping, sometimes it pays to be patient, if you can hold your nerve and not buy immediately, chances are the item will end up being reduced even further.

The key to getting your purchasing decisions right - faced with the lure of marked down price tags - is by staying sensible; yes that pink sequinned skirt may be 80% off but it's not a bargain if it doesn't ever see more than the inside of the wardrobe.

Items that you'd wear everyday to work or timeless classics, may not be the ones that set your pulse racing, but it's with those wearable pieces that you're really getting value for money.

Key pieces to look out for are wardrobe staples; blazers, pumps, cashmere knitwear. If you're not overly swayed by seasonal trends it's also a good time to get this year's winter coat - just ensure you invest in something classic.
