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.

No damp squib this crowd-pleasing firecracker of a Spanish sparkler with its lively mousse and salmon-pink bubbles. Take advantage of the special offer and you could happily prolong the action into the festive season.

Under a Tenner: 2004 Charles Back Pinotage Viognier £7.99, down to £5.99, Somerfield, until 22 November

The aromatic viognier grape combines with the power-packed black cherry juiciness of the Cape's pinotage in a surprisingly successful marriage of beauty and the beast. Good value without the special offer, a bargain with.

Splash Out: Tesco Finest 10 Year Old Tawny Port £11.06, Tesco

Bonfire night calls for the creation of your very own comfort zone, which is easily done with this relatively inexpensive, aged tawny port whose rich fruit and evolved nutty flavours will fortify you against the elements whatever the weather.
