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.

WHETHER or not it was inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman costume in Batman Returns, the Thinning Belt brings a new dimension to bondage wear. Made from black neoprene (the rubber used to make divers' suits), it is designed to be worn under clothes and is intended for medicinal rather than kinky purposes. 'The idea,' says Tanya Morgan, its sales director, 'is that you get slightly, er, moist, not sweaty, and lose weight.' Ms Morgan claims to have shed one and a half inches from her waistline in one day, 'though it doesn't necessarily stay off'. Anyone desperate for new experiences (this one costs pounds 9.99) can obtain more information by calling 071-267 2268.
