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.

The purchase of a new winter coat is easily one of the biggest shopping decisions of the year.

With UK winter starting in September and lasting till some time in April it's a decision best made with careful consideration.

Cold temperatures and dark nights can make the season a very long and miserable one. What better way then to brighten up the outlook than with a colourful winter coat.

Yes camel may be classic, black is timeless and navy is very elegant, but the trend this winter is to add a pop of colour with a brightly hued overcoats.

Primary colours like bright blue, red or yellow make the biggest statement. For something a little softer but equally as colourful try pastel shades of mint, apricot and lemon.
