What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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.

We're not sure about... Tantastic
There's nothing like learning from a master, but if you think that rich mahogany is a shade suitable only for furniture and fences, Peter Andre's endorsement of Fake Bake's new Sport Daily Tan will be enough to warrant staying pale and interesting this summer.
We're buying... Pot of gold
A remarkable 75 years since it was invented on a household stovetop, this mentholated balm is certainly tried and tested. A must-have for many, the original, untinted formula remains the best, reaching hero status with those who have ever been chapped of lip.
