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.

Ah, Christmas. The only time of the year when it is sociably acceptable to consume your entire recommended daily food and drink intake before 11am.

As the inevitable office parties and university reunions mount up, the sight of another plate of soggy Turkey and stuffing is enough to put anyone off the big day itself. But with so many alternatives on offer this year from familiar chain-restaurants and quirky independents, why not leave the carving knives alone and opt for something a little more creative when planning dinner?

From Turkey-dogs to barbecued hog, here are ten of the best tried-and-tested alternative Christmas meals.
