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.

We’re visiting…Man cave

Forget sweaty fitting rooms and unflattering lighting, for a more civilised shopping experience Topman’s Oxford Circus store has opened a new personal shopping suite. Relax in the comfort of your own oversized changing room while a stylist caters to your every shopping need. topman.com

We love… Blow dry Perfection

A launch from GHD is a cause for considerable excitement; following its much-loved straighteners, the GHD Aura is no ordinary hairdryer. New technology allows for greater styling control, more shine and added volume. £145, ghdhair.com

We’re not sure about… Filthy fashion

It’s dirty work, shopping. Research by King’s College found Oxford Street to be the most toxic shopping district in the world. So shield your skin with the Streetwise collection from Orico designed as a defence to pollution.

From £13, oricolondon.co.uk
